Do you mean to play music using a Linux soft synth, or possibly to |
26 |
record the midi messages and be able to replay the music using an |
27 |
external synth? |

Both are completely possible, and in fact easy with the right |
30 |
MIDI-to-USB converter. I use a MIDIMAN MIDISport 2x2 which works great |
31 |
for me although I haven't used it in a while. I'm sure there are lots |
32 |
of good USB interfaces that cost less that work fine also. |

info. |
