Hi Wulfy,
This is probably not a good moment to mention it, but I actually have no
clue about how MIDI works. The OP had an error message which suggested
that udev had not created the appropriate node in /dev; this, as
expected, seems to be fixable by probing the necessary modules. Beyond
that I am lost: When I press the "Test MIDI" button in "KDE Control
Center > Sound & Multimedia > Sound System" I hear nothing at all. I
always figured this was because I do not have any external MIDI
instruments attached, therefore I did not investigate it any further.
The rest of my comments was aimed at tracking down a possible udev
problem; this does not seem to matter here, since you do get the node
in /dev.

Oops. I would hope that this can be fixed by
rmmod snd_seq_midi
rmmod snd_seq
alasconf
