Are there any apps that use /dev/midi for playback/recording?

All the apps that I have come across (rosegarden, playmidi, etc.) seem to
use /dev/sequencer, which my soundcard (es1370) does not support.

Appreciate any pointers!

TIA,
Bertrand.

If you mean the external midi/MPU401 device, playmidi supports
playback to it via the -e switch. Recording I'm not sure about.

Yup, the es137x do not have a hardware midi sequencer. To play
files, you'd most likely have to use something like timidity.

`midid' can do that, it handles timing of events itself w/o using
/dev/sequencer.  It has a midifile player app but no app for recording,
IIRC.
