you can use amidi from the alsa-utils. type 'amidi -l' to find out where your synth is connected. you may see something like this: Device Name hw:0,0 M Audio Delta 1010 MIDI hw:2,0,0 your_synth with 'amidi -p hw:2 -s preset1.syx' you can send sysex to your synth. Mike
I used this tool to upgrade my Roland XV-3080's OS in the past. The update was a mass of sysex files. amidi worked perfectly, without any fuss. On Debian, I can't remember if the alsa-tools or alsa-utils package has amidi in it, but it is one of those. Good luck. -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com
