hell yes it's neat, didn't know this :) so no more need of

seen as a usb HID and thus needs a handler that "midi converts it".
(though you'd need something on the software
side to make midi).
Actually this isn't true, the new "Uno" model of the Arduino (as
opposed to the ancient "Duomilanova") as it uses an ATmega8U2 USB
interface chip rather than the FTDI chip the "Duomilanova" uses.
Basically, you can reprogram the 8U2 to appear as a "standards
complaint" USB MIDI device, and then it will just pop up in ALSA's
MIDI tab. Neat eh? Then all that you need to do is write "midi
data" (integers) to TX...
For a "hardware" MIDI port aswell as USB MIDI just solder a 5 pin DIN
to the project, using the Arduino's TX pin :)
