💖 aseqdump — like, the manual page but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to aseqdump(1) from the General Commands Manual — yes it's a real manpage, yes it's iconic, yes we're doing this together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

aseqdump — show the events received at an ALSA sequencer port

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

aseqdump [-p client:port,...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

aseqdump is a command-line utility that prints the sequencer events it receives as text. that's it, that's the whole vibe — it just sits there and tells you what's coming in 💅

To stop receiving, press Ctrl+C. literally just vibe check it with your keyboard, she'll stop 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — prints a list of options. your little map of the whole thing ✨
  • -V, --version — prints the current version. so you know exactly which girl you're talking to 💁
  • -l, --list — prints a list of possible input ports. go window shopping for ports 🎀
  • -u, --ump=version — sets the client MIDI version. 0 is for legacy mode, 1 is UMP MIDI 1.0 mode, and 2 is UMP MIDI 2.0 mode. pick your fighter 🌈
  • -r, --raw — suppress the automatic conversion of events among UMP and legacy clients. no translating, no mediating, we're keeping it raw ngl 😳
  • -R, --raw-view — shows the raw values as is. the channel numbers and UMP group numbers are 0-based in this mode. this is the default behavior. so if you didn't ask for anything, this is what you got, bestie 🙈
  • -N, --normalized-view — shows the normalized values to be aligned with MIDI 1.0. the channel numbers and UMP group numbers are shown as 1-based values, i.e. 1 is the lowest number. the velocity and data values are normalized between 0 and 127. the values for MIDI 2.0 are shown with two digits decimal points (from 0.00 to 127.00). the pitch wheel is normalized between -8192 to 8192, too. everything's been to the glow-up salon 💖
  • -P, --percent-view — shows the values in percentage. the channel numbers and UMP group numbers are shown as 1-based values in this mode, too. the velocity and data values are normalized between 0 and 100%, shown with two digits decimal points. the pitch wheel is normalized between -100% to 100%, too. we love a girl who speaks in percentages 📊✨
  • -p, --port=client:port,... — sets the sequencer port(s) from which events are received. 👇

A client can be specified by its number, its name, or a prefix of its name. A port is specified by its number; for port 0 of a client, the ":0" part of the port specification can be omitted. so like, don't do extra work for no reason, she gets it 💅
