you're using timidity. last time i looked this is not a JACK client. it
won't send output via JACK at all.

you need to use either an LV2 plugin within Ardour or an external
synthesizer that uses JACK. timidity is a very basic general MIDI player -
it gets the job done for a few things, but its not really a typical
component in music creation workflows.
