You can connect it using aconnect

aconnect -lo

lists all the available alsa midi devices.. for example on my
system I get: 

client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
    0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 16: 'SBLive! Value [CT4832]' [type=kernel]
    0 'EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART)'
client 17: 'Emu10k1 WaveTable' [type=kernel]
    0 'Emu10k1 Port 0  '
    1 'Emu10k1 Port 1  '
    2 'Emu10k1 Port 2  '
    3 'Emu10k1 Port 3  '
client 24: 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard' [type=kernel]
    0 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard MIDI '
client 28: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 3-0' [type=kernel]
    0 'VirMIDI 3-0     '
client 29: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 3-1' [type=kernel]
    0 'VirMIDI 3-1     '
client 30: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 3-2' [type=kernel]
    0 'VirMIDI 3-2     '
client 31: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 3-3' [type=kernel]
    0 'VirMIDI 3-3     '
client 128: 'FLUID Synth (7620)' [type=user]
    0 'Synth input port (7620:0)

To connect two alsa devices together I do (for example):

aconnect 24 128

Best wishes,

James
