In addidion to the "amidi" ALSA raw midi utility that has been suggested, you can also easily write from a bash script to character devices, either the OSS (/dev/midi*) or the ALSA ones (/dev/snd/midiC*). You can even create a virtual MIDI port using the ALSA module snd-virmidi, so you can write chars to a /dev/midi* node and connect the other side (the ALSA sequencer port) to a synth. > The tool would just be required to send a single midi note to some port. > The note to be sent should be specifiable on command line, along with > length/velocity ... probably would be enough. > > Any ideas? As an example, here is a bash script that can be used with cron, to play hourly a tune and some strokes. Regards, Pedro
