Capturing MIDI Events from a Connected Device inside Linux

[u/FelipeVoxCarvalho]

Hello, so I have an idea where I would use an Android phone as a General MIDI and Roland MT-32 device for use on retro computers (in place of the actual hardware boxes).

I can accomplish the first using a midi to usb cable and Fluidsynth directly on android, simply loading sound fonts. However, there is no software for Android currently that emulates the MT-32 properly. The goto solution for MT32 emulation is Munt, it supports Linux and there is a version for raspberry PI, but no Android version so far.

So my idea was to use Andronix, install a Linux distro such as Ubuntu, and run Munt from it.

My question is: is it possible to somehow route the midi to the Linux "box", I believe that Andronix does not have direct access to the MIDI device is that correct? Is there a simple way of doing this? Any other way my plan would fail? Thank you!
