Slight flaw: my amidi
doesn't support -P, which I assume, is to send
to an ALSA sequencer device.
My apologies, it's "-p". At the moment I'm running a Linux were it
isn't
installed, but I checked it running systemd-nspawn now [1].
Regarding man amidi "amidi - read from and write to ALSA RawMIDI
ports", so I suspect it can't be used to send MIDI events to fluidsynth.
It was faulty memory.
I never used midish, but you did ;), IOW likely midish could be used to
send the bank select and program change:
"{ xpc {} 21 1234 } # match patch 21 on bank 1234"
