Well, it's a SATB hymn setting and timidity plays all four parts, howbeit with a bizarre

voice for the TB. aplaymidi is getting me only SA.

The current hardware settup has a controller keyboard going to the

computer, and the computer is driving a Roland xv5050. The computer

functions as midi through, in other words. I have no problem playing

the xv5050 over any channel from the controller, so I have to conclude aplaymidi is

only sending channel 1--which happens to have SA both via aplaymidi and

timidity.

The gui isn't an option for me, unless perhaps built with gtk2 widgets.

i guess I can learn to remap the channels, but it seems an alsa midi

player shouldn't be channel ignorant. I guess I'm astounded that that

might actually be the case.
