Are there any shell commands I should know about that let > you do this through Jack Midi rather than Alsa Midi? I don't know if there's such a tool. But AFAIK jack would only block the raw MIDI device when you use "-X raw" to use the raw MIDI driver in jack. Do you need that driver? If you don't, you can use the "seq" driver instead. I find that one more useful anyway. You can change that in Setup -> Settings in qjackctl. (Also, checking "Enable client/port aliases" in Setup -> Display shows you readable MIDI device names in the qjackctl MIDI tab, instead of the useless JACK default names.) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
