There are some really basic serial port to MIDI interfaces available for Amiga. I believe there is at least one design on Aminet.

If I remember correctly (it has been a while for me), standard Amiga serial ports could actually run at MIDI Baud (31250 b/s +-1%). Not sure if the MiniMig can do that or not. If it can, that simplifies the design of an RS-232 to MIDI interface.

Alternatively, lots of Roland sound modules come with a 'MIDI to host' port. This is basically a serial port on the sound module, which accepts MIDI data at standard RS-232 Baud. This requires a (fairly simple) driver though.

Whatever you use, it will have to supported by your sequencer. I'm pretty sure most Amiga sequencers would support serial port MIDI interfaces.
Good good study, day day up!
