Setting up Roland A-88 with QJackCtl + QSampler in Linux Mint 13

Since I started to try improving on developing my relative pitch using the CDs of David Lucas Burge's The Relative Pitch Ear Training SuperCourse, I needed Asahi, my Roland A-88 to be fully functioning again. I took a break trying to learn and memorize playing Moanin' in piano (Sakamichi no Apollon version) and thought it's best I get back to basics by trying to improve and develop my relative pitch and absolute pitch. 

Anyway, I tried setting up Asahi to my Linux Mint 13 64bit Xfce partition of Ahim, my laptop and it took awhile for me to tweak so that the MIDI output of Asahi will be heard from the speakers of Ahim. This post is a walkthrough how I did it.
