Re: [proaudio] seq24 & jackd (or midi in general)

Hi Meino, 

SEQ24 has 2 different ways of working with MIDI. 

The default method is in the MIDI input page it will show all other MIDI
connections and allow you to check boxes. (This can be pretty
annoying). 

To work with qjackctl to setup the MIDI connections and have seq24 have
it's own input follow these steps. 

1. Open then close seq24.
2. Open up the file .seq24rc 
3. Find the section that looks like 

[manual-alsa-ports]
# set to 1 if you want seq24 to create its own alsa ports and
# not connect to other clients
0


4. and make it look like this 


[manual-alsa-ports]
# set to 1 if you want seq24 to create its own alsa ports and
# not connect to other clients
1

5. Reopen SEQ24 and you should see a MIDI port under the ALSA section
(it doesn't support jack MIDI although using a2jmidid -e will expose all
ALSA sequencer ports in JACK) 


cheers

Allan
