SYNOPSIS

aseqnet [-p port] [hostname]

DESCRIPTION

aseqnet transmits ALSA sequencer events over a network connection. It enables MIDI communication between machines, allowing remote MIDI control or distributed music setups.
Running without arguments starts a server; specifying a hostname connects as client.

PARAMETERS

hostname

Connect to this server (client mode)
-p port
Network port (default: 40002)
-v, --verbose
Verbose output

CAVEATS

No encryption; use SSH tunneling for security. Network latency affects MIDI timing. Requires same byte order on both machines (or use -s flag).

HISTORY

aseqnet is part of the ALSA utilities, enabling network MIDI functionality for distributed audio setups.
