I think, by default LilyPond creates a MIDI channel for each staff.

If you move the Staff_performer to the Voice context, it creates a MIDI 
channel for every voice.

So maybe, if you move the Staff_performer to an encompassing group, it puts 
all the MIDI events in one channel?

Or alternatively, you could create a separate \score { } block for the MIDI 
output and put all voices in one \new Staff << >> construct?

Did not test this, though.
