okay, now i have extra ports under the MIDI tab conveniently labeled
midi_capture_3 ... midi_playback_8 (presumably for the BCF2000 and ardour) in
addition to my soundcard ports. i tried some random connections here, but it
didn't do anything.

thanks for the link. it doesn't solve my problem, but any info on how the
underlying software works is good to know.

under the ALSA tab i have the following out ports (in addition to my sound
card): MIDI 1 & 2 under the BCF2000 and control, mcu, & seq under ardour. the
in ports are the same for ardour, but i have MIDI 1, 2, & 3 for the BCF2000.
which outs connect to which ins?
