These are musical instruments that can be connected to the computer, or to other instruments through MIDI cables. To do this, your computer must have a MIDI interface. There are sound cards with MIDI interfaces, and also USB adapters supported by ALSA with the corresponding kernel module. There are even MIDI instruments that can be connected directly to your computer via USB. In any case, you should check that the MIDI interface model is supported by ALSA at the ALSA project site
