	Hi!

	I'm sorry for disturbing silence in this mailing list and for asking

faqs (I'm just a novice in this domain and need help). I've recently bought a
MIDI keyboard and now I'm trying to get it working under linux. Can anyone tell
me how one can test keyboard fast (something that looks like cat /dev/midi > /dev/sequencer ?). What do all these devices do and what are they responsible for:
/dev/midi*, /dev/music, /dev/sequencer? Which may be read and which may be written? Does there exist any OSS API description and/or hopefully an example of a non-trivial MIDI program (not MIDI player)? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Taras
