you can use amidi from the alsa-utils.
type 'amidi -l' to find out where your synth is connected. you may see
something like this:
Device Name
hw:0,0 M Audio Delta 1010 MIDI
hw:2,0,0 your_synth
with 'amidi -p hw:2 -s preset1.syx' you can send sysex to your synth.

I used this tool to upgrade my Roland XV-3080's OS in the past. The
update was a mass of sysex files. amidi worked perfectly, without any
fuss.
On Debian, I can't remember if the alsa-tools or alsa-utils package
has amidi in it, but it is one of those. Good luck.
