I remember having 'fun' with getting the midi stuff to work on a Pi for Scratch. I think there can be some fairly annoying delays between requesting a note and actually hearing it; maybe that has improved as the Pi has got faster?

There were also issues I noted about the index of the instrument not matching the plugin/library (off by one problems I think) and the timidity system. Then again, the only planet where all the unix systems do sound properly is Mars, so we shouldn't be too surprised.
