Hello, and when you refer to Fluidsynth are you talking about something 
other than a soundfont?  What I was talking about in my OP was a 
standalone Raspberry Pi based simple MIDI sequencer (recorder/player) 
where the MIDI stream is being rendered by a digital piano not a 
soundfont+soundcard in a computer.  Timidity++ is a nice MIDI file 
player (no record capability) but AFAIK it interfaces directly with a 
soundfont and cannot output a MIDI stream to the input port of, say, a 
USB-to-MIDI interface (e.g. an M-Audio MIDISPORT).  My interest here is 
solo piano and the best IMO "one program that does it all" is the 
PC-based freeware "MidiPiano" that can construct and play MIDI file 
playlists, display a piano keyboard with the notes being played and can 
redirect its MIDI output to the port of a MIDI interface as well as use 
an internal soundfont.  It can also accept input from a MIDI interface. 
A decent digital audio workstation (DAW) package can do all these things 
but goes well beyond just the record/play real time capabilities I'm 
after.  Sincerely,
