LMMS appears to work as such. I have to admit I am not a musician and my only use of it was to test some midi control input from a midi dials and buttons box I was playing with. So it may be terrible for actual music creation for all I know. https://lmms.io/ https://lmms.io/ Update: so I looked at it a bit, still not a musician but it looks like lmms can only export single midi tracks at a time. So probably useless for actually creating a midi song. If you really wanted to beat your self up you could set up each track as a midi output channel, then play the song while recording the midi stream. But that does not sound like much fun to me.

  Until/unless it gets fixed LMMS is awful for working with MIDI files, it puts all the events on one channel and there's no way around it other than maybe saving each track as a separate file and combining them with something else..

  LMMS is very limited. You also can't open existing midi files in it and then edit them and save them again.

Back in the day there was a very nice and simple little MIDI sequencer for X-Windows called Seq24 that I used every now and then. Of course there are much more complex music software that also happens to have MIDI-support (LMMS, Renoise, ...) but I liked Seq24 because it only did short MIDI patterns and had quite good GUI (holding down various modifiers and using the different mouse-buttons to do most edits). Searching I get a link to a URL that looks like it could have been the Seq24 home page, but Firefox throws up a security warning for that domain. There is also a hit for this project that claims to be based on Seq24 and that has commits as recently as a few days ago, so maybe this is worth looking at: https://github.com/ahlstromcj/seq66 https://github.com/ahlstromcj/seq66
