Raw MIDI devices require raw data; they're useful only for .syx files
where you don't care about timing.

Try this:
  (echo -ne '\x90\x3c\x7f'; sleep 0.5; echo -ne '\x3c\x00') > /dev/snd/midiC0D2


To get a sequencer port that your stupid Java runtime can access, load
the snd-virmidi module.

To test it, run
 aseqdump -p "Virtual Raw MIDI":0
to show what gets sent to the corresponding raw MIDI port.

To actually use it, connect it to a synthesizer port:
  aconnect "Virtual Raw MIDI":0 Emu10k1:0
