According to the responses to my previous post. There
does not seem to be
a way in linux to send MIDI command from my shell to a MIDI output
interface.
The closest response I got was to use a MIDI controller (keyboard) press
the note and then pull the keyboard cable so it cannot send a stop (it
works but, I do believe there is a better way in linux).
For reference I want to be able to generate drone tones on my MIDI. I am
looking for a simple application (MIDI shell??) that would let me turn a
particular note on. I already have a sound card with the wavetable, this
sound card understands midi. Alsa is supposed to have a good midi api, so
how so I insert a midi event into my souncards midi output interface!!
Well, Pd (Pure Data) is a modular softsynth, that treats midi note
message simply as lists or pairs of note/velocity values. As a
note-off normally is just a note with velocity 0 cou could just omit
this. I attached a simple example patch for Pd that just sends a
[60 100( note on message (which is a "C" with a decent velocity). If
you don't want Pd to open this window you could use
"pd -nogui drone-c.pd" once to make a drone directly from the shell.
There are also ways to remote control Pd over network but this might
be off-topic now.
ciao
