Hi, easy workaround: Check "use external midiplayer" and enter: aplaymidi -p 129:0 %s Change the 129:0 to the corresponding port, of course [i use fluidsynth and it happens to open port 129:0 if it's the only midi app on my system :)] I suppose it would be possible to automate this: If you know you always use fluidsynth, it is possible to replace aplaymidi with a script that parses the output of aconnect -io | grep -i fluid and calls aplaymidi with the right -p parameter.. my own shell skillz are to n00b though..
