Re:

You could try to install QJackctl, which is designed to control the
jack audio server, but also lets you control alsa midi connections.
Then start rumor, and on the qjackctl interface, click "Connect" and
select the "alsa" tab. You should then see some midi ports (ideally,
an output from your keyboard controller and and input to rumor, that
you can then manually connect)

(note that you can do the same thing via the command-line aconnect, if
you are into that sort of thing...)

Hope that helps...
