I think that the alsa midi layer is a great contribution to FreeBSD and audio/midi music production. Why? Because its the portal to get midi to wine apps. There is even an asio to wine project to get the sound out in low latency with jack.
So all the ingredients are there.
-usb midi
-wine and audio apps. Reaper, Adobe Audition, Reasson etc. softsynths I am running Alchemy and Absynth in an vsthost and wine. But I can only input notes with the keyboard.
-Semi/Pro audio cards supported by 4front
-Wine asio support http://sourceforge.net/projects/wineasio/
The only missing link is midi to wine. Anyone knows what need to be done? I am now very close to the point of wiping out my windos partion. mmmmm
