Midi inputs and outpus in jackd

Open tizo78 opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I have seen that in jackd, the midi in and out ports of LiSP are in Alsa tab. It would be better for people using jackd, to have those on the Midi tab (reference: https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/faq/start#qwhat_is_the_difference_between_jack-midi_and_alsa-midi). Maybe a setting to choose which one to use could be added?.

Thanks!

Mmmh, the fact is that LiSP, in theory, doesn't have its own ports, but simply connects to pre-existing MIDI devices, this is in part due to the way the midi library I'm using. The two ports you see are probably used to simulate this behaviour with RtMidi in ALSA.

That said, I'm planning to use RtMidi directly (via some wrapper), this should allow to what you ask.
