I have to "create a ~/.dosemu/dosemu-midi_in pipe and forward [my] midi data to it". I'm pretty new to Linux, so I would be glad if someone could explain to me in more detail how to do it.

This seems to explain in more detail:

Thanks for your quick response. I'm aware of those instructions, but unfortunately dosemu-midi_in isn't mentioned anywhere. Possibly I'm again missing (or misunderstanding) something??

I already tried
cat /dev/midi1 > test.txt
and it writes some garbage to test.txt - so MIDI input via midi1 is working. My problem is now how to connect /dev/midi1 to dosemu-midi_in. If it's already connected by
ln -s /dev/mid1 ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi_in
then how can I test whether Dosemu receives the data?

I've been running Voyetra's Sequencer Plus Gold under DOSemu for many years. I load the ALSA virtual MIDI module (modprobe snd-virmidi) then I link the DOSemu MIDI I/O like so:

ln -s /dev/snd/midiC2D0 ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi

ln -s /dev/snd/midiC1D0 ~/.dosemu/run/dosemu-midi_in

where midiC2D0 is the ALSA virmidi module and midiC1D0 is the external MIDI port on my PCI soundcard.

Just to be sure, I tested MIDI input with these connections before I posted this message. It worked fine. :)

Best,
