9 * VIRTUAL RAW MIDI DEVICE CARDS
11 * This dummy card contains up to 4 virtual rawmidi devices.
12 * They are not real rawmidi devices but just associated with sequencer
13 * clients, so that any input/output sources can be connected as a raw
14 * MIDI device arbitrary.
15 * Also, multiple access is allowed to a single rawmidi device.
17 * Typical usage is like following:
18 * - Load snd-virmidi module.
19 * # modprobe snd-virmidi index=2
20 * Then, sequencer clients 72:0 to 75:0 will be created, which are
21 * mapped from /dev/snd/midiC1D0 to /dev/snd/midiC1D3, respectively.
23 * - Connect input/output via aconnect.
24 * % aconnect 64:0 72:0 # keyboard input redirection 64:0 -> 72:0
25 * % aconnect 72:0 65:0 # output device redirection 72:0 -> 65:0
27 * - Run application using a midi device (eg. /dev/snd/midiC1D0)
