If you learn the hows from others, you'll be tied and dependent on their whys. If you understand the whys, you can even create hows that didn't exist before.
Now I know the whys (I had to deduce them from your confusing how-to sequences). For example, in my first reply to you, I thought you were trying to make music, not play it, so I provided you with information on how to manage banks from Qtractor. Again, knowing the whys changes everything.

The first thing to do is configure Eduke32 to have an ALSA output.
Why? Because it sends the MIDI information and determines how that information will be sent. From there, I can connect it to any ALSA-compatible device, whether real hardware or software.
Some devices (programs) create stable ports, as in this case Eduke32. Others define the connection first, and then create the port along with it. Knowing this is important because if you do it the second way, it won't be compatible with MIDI jack hosts. Since it creates stable ports, you can use Carla (or other hosts) instead of Qtractor to do the job. However, Qtractor, paradoxically, despite being more than a host (it's a complete DAW), offers the simplest solution.
You never made this step clear; in this last sequence you attached, it's clear to me.

Open Qtractor. Open the mixer:
F9 or View > Windows > Mixer.
On the MIDI output bus (not the audio bus), press the monitor button.
Why? This will allow MIDI messages to flow freely.
Remember, this is a DAW, not a MIDI player. In a DAW, it's necessary to distinguish which signals should flow and which shouldn't so that all the instruments don't sound at once while you compose.
This is why you need to activate the monitor if you want to use it as a MIDI player for external signals.

Load the synthesizer into the output bus.

Open the connections window:
F8 or View > Windows > Connections
In the MIDI tab, connect the Eduke32 output port to the Qtractor Master MIDI input port.
Save the project with a name of your choice.
From now on, every time you want to play MIDI from Eduke32, you'll just have to open Eduke32 first and then the saved Qtractor file with everything preconfigured... and it will work.
If I've taken the time to answer, it's only to demonstrate the importance of the whys for freedom... and not to be dependent on the hows.
