Re: [linux-audio-user] using cat to send a MIDI string ?

     I know this
is possible but I can't remember how. I want to send this
 string to a MIDI device:
     f0 7f f7 06 02 f7
   Anyone know the command syntax ?
 
 echo "f0 7f f7 06 02 f7" > /dev/midifoo 
Except he probably wanted to send the hex values and not that exact string.
fugalh@gwythaint:~$ printf '\xf0\x7f\xf7\x06\x02\xf7' | xxd
0000000: f07f f706 02f7                           ......
That's not the prettiest, but it works.
