Hi, I am using an Arduino UNO as a MIDI device using MOCOLUFA library, and at the same time send MIDI over the serial line (old school MIDI). Can I do this using AltSoftSerial ? Can I send MIDI OUT messages on the USB line and also the pin 9 ?
Any help would be great, thanks !

Diego.
 
If you're asking about the AltSoftSerial library then this forum really isn't the best place as it's dedicated to Paul's commercial product - Teensy microcontroller development boards.

But if you are asking about Teensy... on any Teensy-3 series you can use Serial2 for pins 9 and 10 as Rx / Tx without any special libraries. (If you don't want to use Serial1's 0 and 1 pins for some reason.)

Teensy's built-in USB-MIDI and the regular MIDI library have always worked together but with the latest update it's super easy to patch data between them.

if you need additional uarts you may upgrade to the 3.5 or 3.6, they have 6 uarts plus usbserial, 7 total
 
Get a Teensy LC or 3.2 and save that Arduino Uno for a smaller project.

With a Teensy you get real USB MIDI and you can use Serial.print, plus you get 3 real hardware serial ports. The 3.2 & higher can also do quite a lot of audio synthesis. Seriously, you're running out of steam with that limited AVR chip. Step up to a better board and all this stuff that's so very hard becomes really easy.
