Sounds like it is working...

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do...

If you want to record the (audio) output of the external synth just
connect it to the line input of the soundcard, adjust levels with a
mixer (ie: gamix or qamix or alsamixer) and connect the proper inputs to
ardour. 

If you want to control internal synths through MIDI you should connect
the output of the midi interface to the input of the synth using, for
example, kaconnect. 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question.
