I assume that you are using ALSA. If so, you can use my KMidimon utility. It has a nice KDE GUI: http://kmetronome.sourceforge.net/kmidimon/ If you prefer a CLI interface, you can use "aseqdump", included in alsa-utils-1.0.9, or "arecordmidi --dump" in previous releases. With a Gnome GUI and for OSS, there is GMidiMon: http://dufourko.free.fr/gmidimon/index.html Regards, Pedro
