IMO you simply should test it. I'm not aware about VST support on
Linux, I don't use VSTs, but I used editor plugins for external MIDI
devices, when I used the Atari ST as sequencer and it was amazing to
use very short SysEx data in real-time, when using separated MIDI
outputs, to control external MIDI devices. Controlling a synth by SysEx
in real-time works, assumed the actually non-real-time SysEx data is
short and you're using separated MIDI outputs.
