Yes, that is what I would expect, but I am at the stage before that - I
have no port on my computer labelled midi-in, so I can't plug this
Yamaha keyboard in. So I have no live midi input signal to work with.

I have looked on the internet for information on getting physical midi
signals into a computer running Linux but mostly what I see seems very
old, saying that soundcards are (were?) midi capable but just lacked a
little bit of circuitry to actually connect the midi out of equipment to
them. And I see midi-usb devices for sale, but they only mention
windows.
