I can't work out how to use yoshimi with seq24 via qjackctl :-(


Two midi systems (co)exist in Linux.
Accordingly, here are two tabs for midi connections in qjackctl.
One labelled 'MIDI' (handling JACK-midi connections) and one
labelled 'ALSA' (handling ALSA-midi connections).

Seq24 just supports ALSA midi.

Yoshimis has support for both, its default midi system is JACK midi.
Type 'yoshimi -a' to override this and invoke it using ALSA midi.

Since seq24 defaults to handling its midi connections internally,
it does not expose its ports in the ALSA tab.
Invoke it with 'seq24 --manual_alsa_ports' to override this behavior.

Now you should have both, seq24 and yoshimi, show up in qjackctls
ALSA tab, ready to be connected.

And that I think works as advertised, thank you David! That triggers a
vague recall that I used a2jmidid when I was playing about with seq24.
For dealing with the alsa midi only apps, a2jmidid is just excellent.

cheers.
