I'm interrested in using MIDI on FreeBSD, too, but I have to tell you, that - as far as I found out - there has been midi support some time ago, but it's not included in the system/kernel anymore. There's probably some hope although, I don't find it, but I remember someone stated that you can easily apply the netbsd midi code as a patch to the current kernel. 5.0RC2 works according to this source, but had system reboots, when kldloading the midi module. If you're interrested, maybee you have more luck searching, there aren't many articles about freebsd and midi on the net (especially newer ones). I'll keep on searching....
