Just to clarify, USB connected FLASH can be connected in a random order.
Therefore that *MAY* {or may not ;} be source of the problem.

For us non-musical Debian users, we need:
   1. informational links to Rosegarden and mcow
   2. what is the end user's computer and OS
      A classically trained musician friend with a BSEE degree and a long
      time Windows user recently bought an Apple based midi system --
      he is seeing things he doesn't understand and it got complicated
      due to communication problems (human->human) due to COVID19.
   3. what is the midi hardware (URL to tech description)

P.S.
My introduction [>50 yrs ago] to cross-discipline communication was 
trying to explain to a PHD biochemist why he needed to provide an order 
of magnitude larger sample for an NMR analysis that he had to provide 
for a mass spec analysis. Then there was trying to explain the concept 
of gain-bandwidth product to a chemistry post-doc when I was only a BSEE 
undergrad.
