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