[linux-audio-user] Java and native MIDI ports

[Adrien DANIEL]

Hi there !

I don't know if asking that kind of question here is a good thing, but I try !

I am working on a little software for a work in my university. Its way 
of working is very simple : It gets MIDI events from a (virtual) port, 
modify them, and then send MIDI events to a (virtual) MIDI port.
Typically, it looks like this :

Instrument MIDI Output ---> My software ---> Input Soft Synth

My problem is about opening those virtuals MIDI ports. I know how to do 
that with the ALSA API, but I would like to get that job done in Java. 
In fact, I wanna code my whole sofware in Java.

I read somewhere 
(http://jsresources.sourceforge.net/faq_midi.html#connect_midi) that 
the native apps MIDI ports of the ALSA system where reachable in the 
Java 5 Sound API (as MidiDevice) when the virmidi module is loaded.

Well, I loaded it, listed every MidiDevice availables on the Java 
System with a little piece of Java code, but I can't see, for example, 
the vkeybd Output port or the FluidSynth Input port !

Could someone help me ? :'(

Cheers,
AD
