MAO is french acronym for computer assisted music.
When I was 14 I had my own home studio with AtariST, Roland D20, Technics Organ, TR808, and other MIDI stuff.
I made some compositions ala Vangelis, Art of noise, Tangerine Dream and Eric Sera (The Big Blue).
I spent a lot of time on my piano, improvising romantic music for hours.
The nostalgic made me to try to build a simple MAO setup on my archlinux with a AKAI MPK mini MIDI controller.
I won't do things like the great amazing Marc Rebillet or Mezerg but I want to feel some good music vibrations.

So I started to download `dexed` a DX7 emulator, and it works natively with the MPK. I still have to find out how to program the MPK buttons.
I also installed `ardour` that seems to be a professional audio studio opensource, like Gimp is for image.
Need to consume some times on tutorials before having fun...
Some resources that help me:
