A USB cable is not the best solution to my problem.  I have exactly one appropriate USB port on my keyboard, and I don't want to wear it out -- I have seen far too many USB-A and USB-B ports and cables wear out over the last five years for comfort.  Haven't worn out any MIDI DINs yet, but recent conversation has finally given me the answer to some anomalies seen in some very fast music played through MIDI-DIN, so I have to start the engineering for durable ultrareliable portable MIDI-USB, and a permanent dongle for wireless of some sort seems the only practical way.

Looked it up.  I like a lot!  I'll just have to get started :-)  Tell me: why ALSA-MIDI on the RPi side?  Does this mean I don't have to have JACK running on the RPi?  That would be most extremely cool.
