I really don't know anything about this, but docs say default port is set in the configs and -p can be used to feed a port in.

Quote:
-p, --port=name
Sets the name of the ALSA RawMIDI port to use. If this is not
specified, amidi uses the default port defined in the configura‐
tion file (the default for this is port 0 on card 0, which may
not exist).
Quote:
EXAMPLES
amidi -p hw:0 -s my_settings.syx
will send the MIDI commands in my_settings.syx to port hw:0.

amidi -S F0 43 10 4C 00 00 7E 00 F7
sends an XG Reset to the default port.

amidi -p hw:1,2 -S F0411042110C000000000074F7 -r dump.syx -t 1
sends a “Parameter Dump Request” to a GS device, saves the
received parameter data to the file dump.syx, and stops after
the device has finished sending data (when no data has been
received for one second).

amidi -p virtual -d
creates a virtual RawMIDI port and prints all data sent to this
port.

pulled these off of http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/...1/amidi.1.html
