yeah, I too have searched for a long time. Strangely, midi apps were not so common in Linux. Now it's (a lot) better.

> As far as MusE goes, I have gone through the configuration section fairly thoroughly but without finding a way to access mp401-uart.  The closest thing that I found was under the midiport configuration table->other raw devices, which brought up a context dialog box which had a choice of raw midi, pipe, or something else which I can't seem to remember at the moment.  I tried entering /dev/midiC0D0 as the path for the raw midi device but that didn't configure a valid midi output for the device.

The raw device is for externa synth, I believe.
As far as a sequencer goes, it's far better to use a softsynth than the legacy card synth. With a softsynth, you will have far better sounds, see for example timidity and the eawpats sound with your distro.
Wuen timidity is installed and launched (timidity -iA) you will find it in this MusE box.


cheers
