There should be no need to learn J/Link or MathLink to generate MIDI sound with version 6, though this was the only way to do it in earlier versions. J/Link is probably easier to use than MathLink because you can start with examples that are written purely in Mathematica code and call the Java API (i.e. you don't need to write any Java code).
