Just a tip - I noticed (on Debian or Ubuntu based systems at least) that 
vkeybd, the virtual MIDI keyboard, does not show up in seq24's drop-down 
list of available MIDI connections. The work-around is to set:

[manual-alsa-ports]
# set to 1 if you want seq24 to create its own alsa ports and
# not connect to other clients
1

in the .seq24rc file, and then make a MIDI connection from vkeybd to 
seq24 using aconnect or the ALSA tab in qjackctl. Then you can input 
notes live into seq24, using a QWERTY keyboard, as long as vkeybd is the 
window in focus. To do this recording and hear the synth at the same 
time, I've got all three bottom-right-corner buttons (Sequence dumps 
data to midi bus, Incoming data passes thru to sequences midi bus and 
channel, and Records incoming midi data) active at once.

Cheers!

Daniel
