Carlyle!
You could take any softsynth you like, if the sounds are wrong for the start
doesn't matter. You can )I think) do this thing with TiMidity. I believe it
supports alsa midi sequencer input.
When I said "read" I ment "real". Sorry. Did you try the other way around:
Record midi with a simple alsa-tool, I believe there's something like
arecordmidi. There's also (g)midimon, and some other console and GUI-based
midi-dumping/viewing utilities. So you can see if input comes from your
external synth. Probably it's something there. Had the same problem once.
Kindest regards
Julien
