 Hello !

 Thanks for the reply.

  Normally input devices should appear
automatically if they exist
 prior to starting MusE, there might be some condition where this
 isn't happening though.
 Are you using qjackctl to make the connection?
 MusE prefers if all connections are done from inside MusE, check out
 the Midi and softsynth configuration dialog under MusE settings. 
 As you can see from the attached screenshot (a bit fuzzy to save space)
 every component seems to be there.  There's a Fluidsynth with a flute
 sound, there's the M-Audio pro88.  Now, what's missing is to connect
 them together so it'll be possible to play (and record) the flute sound
 by pressing pro88 keys.

Thanks for the screenshot, I think that cleared it up.
The midi track you have created is set to output to the M Audio device, see
the Port column in the Arranger.
First change the midi track Port to the Fluidsynth device
then arm(record enable) the midi track, it's the red dot in the R column.
Now when you play the keyboard it should make sound.

I think I covered most of this in one of the midi tutorials (that are
getting old fast...) here:
http://muse-sequencer.org/index.php/Tutorials

  Also, I have any question.  I have seen that the Korg
microStation
 synth that I have is listed in one of the Muse menus.  What
 functionality does this mean ?

It was a contribution from a user, the file seems to contain all patch
names and some midi controllers for this hardware synth.

Regards,
Robert
