[LAU] send a midi CC signal to my midi controller from bash

[Athanasios Silis]

Hi Ralf,
so I finally sat down to write this command line (bash) midi function.
I seem to be getting stuck on .... choosing the port instead of something
like the data stream (haven't reached there yet).

You see I have the following midi port , which I can see from "aplaymidi"
through port (14:0)
> aplaymidi -l
 Port    Client name                      Port name
 14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
 16:0    BCR2000                          BCR2000 MIDI 1
 16:1    BCR2000                          BCR2000 MIDI 2
 16:2    BCR2000                          BCR2000 MIDI 3
 20:0    Arturia BeatStep                 Arturia BeatStep MIDI 1
 28:0    TerraTec DMX6Fire                MIDI-Front DMX6fire 3
 28:32   TerraTec DMX6Fire                Wavetable DMX6fire 3
 32:0    Hoontech SoundTrack Audio DSP24  MIDI-1 Hoontech/STA DSP24 4
 32:32   Hoontech SoundTrack Audio DSP24  MIDI-2 Hoontech/STA DSP24 4


however in amidi -l does not show this port.
> amidi -l
Dir Device    Name
IO  hw:0,0,0  BCR2000 MIDI 1
IO  hw:0,0,1  BCR2000 MIDI 2
 O  hw:0,0,2  BCR2000 MIDI 3
IO  hw:1,0,0  Arturia BeatStep MIDI 1
IO  hw:3,0    MIDI-Front DMX6fire 3
 O  hw:3,1    Wavetable DMX6fire 3
IO  hw:4,0    MIDI-1 Hoontech/STA DSP24 4
IO  hw:4,1    MIDI-2 Hoontech/STA DSP24 4

I understand client:14 is a software port, but it registers with jack
properly - through the use of a2jmidid (shows up both in "ALSA" and "JACK"
tabs in qjackctl connections window) and with aplaymidi.

So why not show up in amidi too?
and how can I send data to this port ? I mean I can send from midish to
this port, so why not from amidi too?

Thank you!
