Clemens,

there are two ways keykit can handle its ports and both need different 
settings when compiling the sources. I thought I had compiled keykit to use 
ALSA sequencer ports but aplaymidi -l indeed does not list keykit's ports. So 
I guess they must be OSS ports and ALSA is wrapping them invisibly for me. 
aconnectgui shows keykit ports so I have never suspected anything.

I have never intended to use anything different than ALSA sequencer MIDI 
connection and I am not sure how it all happened I have not gotten that for 
keykit.

Now I am trying to recompile keykit so it can connect to ALSA sequencer ports 
and have more than one IN and OUT port, and, hopefully, supports incoming 
running status.

Kind regards,
Crypto.
