A shell script could be enough. The follow example uses `amidi'
with a virtual rawmidi port:

#!/bin/bash
# midistraggo

do_something()
{
        case $1 in
        3C) play doooo.wav & ;;
        3E) play reeee.wav & ;;
        40) play miiii.wav & ;;
        41) play faaaa.wav & ;;
         *) play boooo.wav & ;;
        esac
}

amidi -p virtual -d | while read -n2 st; do
        if [[ ${st} == 90 ]]; then
                read -n3 key
                do_something ${key}
        fi
done
