On topic: I have a cheap Akai Pro LPK25 Laptop Performance Keyboard I plug it in and it shows up as a device in qjackctl and works with no probem On a tangent: When I do this, it shows up as Alsa midi, not as jack midi. i use a2j to show both. How can I make it show up as Jack midi without a separate program?
