I wrote some code to model the keystroke-to-keystroke delay in a person
typing, with pseudorandomness. There are two kinds of delays.. one is a
very small delay as the person reaches for a new key (call this 'reach'
delays), the other is a larger delay that represents a pause to think or
to take a break (call this 'break' delays).

Has this to do with your PortMidi problems?

breakSeries :: Int -> Int -> StdGen -> [Float]
breakSeries lowerB upperB gen =
  let (n,gen1) = randomR (lowerB,upperB) gen
      (gen2,gen3) = split gen1
      delay = generate 1 gen2 breakM
  in replicate n 0 ++ [delay] ++ breakSeries lowerB upperB gen3

breakM :: Gen Float
breakM = frequency [ (10, choose( 1::Float   ,  2))
                  , (10, choose( 4::Float   ,  6)) ]

test = (print . take 100 . breakSeries 2 4 ) =<< newStdGen

Gen is from QuickCheck package, isn't it? That can't be mixed with Random from 'random' package. You could wrap 'randomR' in a State monad ('transformers' package), write your own 'frequency' function for that, and run that with the seed from 'newStdGen'.
