I am glad I could supply relief.
You should have asked a bit louder, I somehow did not hear.

It is a good point, and may be a source of the problems I have with 
qjackctl.
I did not want to install jackd2, and things work properly without it on 
AV (where it caused a lot of problems) I used to use.I get some use out 
of jack as soon as I only use jackd on debian.
I notice that whenever I install qjackctl, it immediately installs 
jackd2 with it as a dependency.
So, just uninstalling the troublesome qjackctl, things start working.

As reported, most is solved and I now only have trouble with routing 
signals from the 1818VSL. All routing to the 1818VSLK (Non midi) now 
seems to work.

I am using the MX flavor of stretch as I dont want systemd as default as 
is now the case with debian causing boatloads of system applications to 
fail, making system administration hell if all your scripts are sysv 
dependent.
I will in future move to a forked debian version as it makes much more 
sense for my applications and interests not to go the systemd way and 
stick with systemv init or a variant of it.
