If you load Rosegarden last it will usually make an intelligent guess
at midi connections.

It's first guess will be whatever hardware MIDI ports are available,
then whatever synth it finds first (depending on how many synths you
have running). It will try to assign these to sensible places - which
you can always override)

If you use ZynAddSubFX (which I use more than anything else), again
start Rosegarden last.

You will find all the audio and MIDI connections are sorted
automagically.
