Ah, I've just understood now what you want. You said "piano roll" (1), but
you
meant "pianola" or "piano player" (2). Right?

I think that you can't tell Timidity to use GUI and ALSA interfaces at the
same time, Sorry. Maybe you want to try a different program?
VMPK can highlight the keys on a piano keyboard, according to the played MIDI
notes from another program like Rosegarden. But only one channel each time.

Another program that you may want to try is kmid. It is a MIDI/karaoke player:

Well I'm almost there. I ran this:
timidity -iA -B2,8 -Oj -EFreverb=0
And can connect RG to both my korg and timidity. I still have two problems:
1) "timidity -iA" doesn't have an user interface, what I really want
is to add "-iat" to get a piano role. If I run:
timidity -iA -B2,8 -Oj -EFreverb=0 -iat
Then its not started in in "ALSA server mode" . Is there no way to launch
timidity to be both in "ALSA server mode" and with a UI?
2) The sound coming from timidity when connected to RG is like a
staticy echo tunnel. I usually will have timidity muted as I just need
its piano roll, but it'd be nice to figure out the problem. I started timidity with "-Oj" , but
don't hava timidity in the alsa
pane.
you need to start timidity as an alsa-sequencer client for input as well
_and_ as a jack-audio client for output, which you already did. maybe
you're missing a command line option, say "-iA" ?
