I was also interested in the USB to midi. I am looking at the Midisport 1x1.

What are you interested in ?

For synthesis I know only the Csound but that is more of a sound "renderer".

For GM synthesis you could try timidity or iiwusynth. The problem with both
is the soundfonts, I have not seen any good, freely available GM bank in sf2
format. AFAIK both support only the GM, no XG or GS. Timidity may have some
reasonable GUS patches, search for eawpats.

For midi, try rosegarden 4, there are certainly other sequencers around, see
what you like.

If you are using RedHat then check http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/
Note here that RedHat 8.0 (at least) does already include the lowlatency patch
but it seems it is not enabled. I've recompiled and enabled the sysctl control.

Cheers,
