Thanks, this is a great tool. kmidimon was also suggested, but the yum of CCRMA did not find it (even though it is listed) when doing a 'yum install kmidimon'. With aseqdump I finally found out that the pcboard on the Yamaha keyboard is loose and has to be kind of wiggled a bit so as to produce the continuous 'active sensing' MIDI messages displayed by aseqdump. Unless I open it up and solder the pcboard, this is surely not a stable setup ! At times there were no midi off messages sent, so notes were hanging in the Zyn synth. Thanks to everyone for the help. The virtual keyboard was very useful to see what proper reception of MIDI events looks like (without 'active sensing' messages). Thanks, Al
