There are some things here.. >> tuxguitar cant to see in the sound configuration my Midi Port. The first question is, is timidity running as daemon ? exec this on a terminal: aconnect -o Do you see it ? If yes, so the second question is.. do you have TuxGuitar-alsa installed ?? ( if you installed tuxguitar from ubuntu repositories, tuxguitar-alsa is in a different package, so you need to install it to see alsa ports ) >> I tried to set on kcontrol (set your midi device) i don't have idea about kcontrol, so can't help here. >> using ate shell mode $timidity file.mid or $timidity -ia file.mid works fine. Yes but... you are running timidity as standalone, not as an ALSA midi port. to test timidity as alsa port with a .mid file. you could do this: aplaymidi --port 128:0 YourFile.mid warning, i assume timidity is loaded on port 128:0 ( see the right ports with aconnect -o )
