So the next step is Rosegarden! ;-)

So, I guess, I don't understand what your next step is? Did you want to
do some MIDI stuff and drive an external synth? Maybe load RG from the
Planet RPM. It's a bit out of date, but pretty good, and comes with a
bunch of demo MIDI files.

Or are you recording from a keyboard or some other MIDI device?
