I am also not sure if I got the USB MIDI part
correctly: what I have is an
external USB device that offers two IN/OUT ports having standard 5 pin DIN
connectors each to connect to other standard MIDI devices. So this device is
not transferring USB MIDI data - it is imho simply converting ordinary MIDI
data into USB data without further manipulation,
That "USB data" *is* USB MIDI data; the USB device has to convert from
the MIDI encoding to the USB MIDI encoding.
then inside the notebook ALSA applications see the UM2
connectors as a
standard MIDI hardware port each.
Yes, because the driver converts the data back.
So the hardware ports that I see denoted as UM2 have
got to be ALSA sequencer
ports.
Yes. Actually, there are also raw MIDI ports for OSS applications.
Does KeyKit have ports that are listed by "aplaymidi -l" (ALSA sequencer
ports), or does it want to read from devices named /dev/midi* (OSS ports)?
