I've been trying to get it going for a few hours now. I have used all 
three of my cards as the sound device. I have been playing with vkeybd, 
kaconnect and timidity for a while now with good results. I have tried 
starting it while timidity is running or not (in case it is blocking the 
sequencer, IIRC that defeats the purpose of having a sequencer but had 
to make sure anyway) and as root or user.

Every commandline I throw at it says one of these:

---

./startBristol -b3 -audio alsa -audiodev first -midi alsa -seq -mididev

========================================

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
