Subject: [LAU] Hardware Midi from Wine
Up until now, I've never really done much with Midi in emulated Windows
apps because I haven't needed them, but recently I acquired a copy of
SoundDiver 3 for Windows from just before Apple killed them (jerks!).
It's widely regarded as the only Midi patch librarian/editor for
hardware synths that ever actually worked.
You've not said what hardware synths you want to control so it will be a bit hard for
anybody to aim any suggestions your way!
I don't personally know of anything standalone but there has quite recently been a
tool called Guru written for Renoise to handle control of external synths. Definitions for
different synths are appearing slowly so there is a chance you would have to get your
hands dirty, creating one for whatever hardware you own. It should work fine with the
Renoise demo version though, so while not being FOSS it should still be free to use.

I'm sure there must be others too though...
