There are two Newton packages that are so mucially inclined:

MIDIX
MIDIX is an extension which extends Note application built in your
Newton. Once MIDIX installed, Note will provide a new stationary which
can store standard MIDI file along with some notes. MIDI file can be
played through Macintosh standard MIDI interface connected to the
serial port. MIDIX supports MIDI files in standard MIDI format 0 and
1. MIDIX requires Newton OS 2.0.

I was able to find a copy at Planet Newton:

NR404
Though technically not MIDI, it is a cool drum machine which may spring
other ideas into your head...

It's in UNNA: http://www.unna.org/view.php?/applications/NR404
