There is no midi support for *any* h/w supported by newpcm in the 4.x branch. Support for this card is ongoing in as much as I have the h/w and the specs. The specs are poor in relation to most other audio h/w, ie minimal register descriptions, mostly just abbreviated names with no commentary, not endearing. I have no plans to do any work on midi support. There is a midi framework in -CURRENT if you are interested, see: http://people.freebsd.org/~tanimura/newmidi/midiarch.html for details. I don't think the code has been worked on since this document was written.
