Alexis, you shouldn't need virmidi to do this. All you need to do is run timidity in alsa sequencer server mode, then connect your midi in port to the timidity port. You can use aconnect to do this, but I've found that Bob Ham's alsa-patch-bay makes this much easier for me. You need to run timidity in server mode, I use: timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0& You'll need TiMidity++-2.12.0-pre1 built with alsa server enabled for this to work. Then launch alsa-patch-bay. You'll see on the left External MIDI 0::MIDI 0-0. On the right side you should see 2 timidity ports. Connect the External MIDI port on the left to one of the timidity ports. You should then be able to play piano. If you use aconnect type aconnect -li to see the available inputs. The External MIDI port will be something like 64:0. aconnect -lo will show you the output ports and your timidity ports should be 128:0 and 129:0. To connect them use aconnect 64:0 128:0. To change programs, I have a utility that Frank Barknecht wrote, but it requires PD to be installed. Or, you can install muse and change programs through it (as well as have a nice midi sequencer). Hope this helps.
