I think you have to see what is the value of the variable
*midi-player* :

* *midi-player*

In Ubuntu as well as in Fedora you can use Timidity as a MIDI player.
You can also use pmidi. In the case of Timidity you can set the value
*midi-player* as,

(setf *midi-player* "timidity -Os -quite=2")

provided timidity is on your path.

Timidity reminds me of the MusicKit days on Next hardware :-)
