[linux-audio-user] midi won't play although sound works

[Julien Claassen]

Carlyle!
  You could take any softsynth you like, if the sounds are wrong for the start 
doesn't matter. You can )I think) do this thing with TiMidity. I believe it 
supports alsa midi sequencer input.
  When I said "read" I ment "real". Sorry. Did you try the other way around: 
Record midi with a simple alsa-tool, I believe there's something like 
arecordmidi. There's also (g)midimon, and some other console and GUI-based 
midi-dumping/viewing utilities. So you can see if input comes from your 
external synth. Probably it's something there. Had the same problem once.
  Kindest regards
          Julien
