I was testing this application with the arb-wrapper mentioned previously, and found that it would not start with the following error:

ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied
Failed to open ALSA sequencer.
harmonySEQ: seq.c:3109: snd_seq_create_queue: Assertion `seq && info' failed.
Aborted

This appears to be because the /dev/snd/seq device is only writable by members of the audio group, which the default user in Ubuntu is not part of. Have you added your user to that group at some point?
