fundamental test: what is now the result of aplaymidi -l
I was ready for that one (sort of):

I have been having a nice play and understanding more midi.

Do read my subsequent post [yep] - fundamentally you need
EITHER:
a synthesiser in your soundcard that has a linux driver;
most unlikely (although I've a nice old PCI card I can haul out)
OR
a hardware port that connects to an external synthesiser (most likely
through your soundcard's joystick port) and a driver for the port; OR
none on lappie
a soft synthesiser like timidity or fluidsynth.
I have both installed now
