[LAD] Alsa, Jack, and midi nirvana.....

[alex stone]

To Stephane, and the team at Jackdmp.
I'm having a great run with the latest build, highly stable, and just keeps
going all day every day, even when i'm throwing orchestras at it.

I have a suggestion.

A lot of programmes seem to be going through a transition at the moment from
Alsa to Jack in the midi department. And the latest jack midi has been
delightful to use in its native environment.

Is there an opportunity here to include in Jack, a 'virtual' transition port
system of say 32 input and 32 output midi ports, that show in the gui
(Qjackctl) and enable the user to seamlessly link alsa midi into Jack midi?

An example would be, in the Jackmidi tab, a set of 'JAT ports' (32 input, 32
output), and the same in the Alsa tab? (32 input, and 32 output)
Or is something like this, for multiple midi ports, already available?

For us crusty middle aged orchestral chaps writing 'elevator music',
multiple midi ports are a must, and essential to controlling big templates
in various programmes, so any guidance, or feedback on this would be greatly
appreciated.

Alex.
