I do suggest Wine, actually. I've just ran Sekaiju with it and it happily played a random MIDI file I selected after changing the output port in settings to TiMidity++ (the first dropdown list in Setup->MIDI device and instrument->Midi out device). It probably also isn't just me, the latest appdb rating of Sekaiju is platinum on wine 4.0 - for the record, I'm using 5.20 staging.

Fair warning: While that program itself is open source, it's hard to patch/contribute to these type of projects if you aren't developing on Windows. Like a lot of Win32 applications it has MFC as a build requirement, which is still proprietary and not straightforward to use outside windows: https://wiki.winehq.org/Winelib_User%27s_Guide#Dealing_with_...
(I speak from frustration after trying to build MFC apps on Linux to varying degrees of success)
