.SH DESCRIPTION
alSeqpSendMidi sends a MIDI message to the sequence player. This can
be used to trigger notes not in the sequence, add controller
information in realtime, or otherwise change the performance of a
sequence.  alSeqpSendMidi can be used as an alternative for 
.B alSeqpSetChlProgram, alSeqpSetChlVol, alSeqpSetChlPan, 
and 
.B alSeqpSetChlFXMix. 

Note that only channel voice messages are supported. See the
MIDI 1.0 specification or any of the various World Wide Web MIDI pages
for more information.
.PP
The
.I ticks
field contains the time offset (in MIDI clock ticks) at which the
event is to occur. The
.I status
byte contains the message type in the high nibble and the channel
number in the low nibble. The next bytes are the MIDI data, which is
determined by the message type.
