VMPK is a client, it connects to TO a Windows MIDI port (not sure it supports jack) Pd could only connect to jack if it supported to create a jack client port, suppose it' can't Here is discord for MIDI , you could also try to post on midi.org forum or on linuxmuscians.com Not sure if there are any other forums for MIDI, targeting non-Linux. https://discord.gg/bkdNqbF3 (*) until Windows MIDI 2.0 comes out, and then, no idea if jack will support the new Window service as the new service is similar to jack Windows MIDI 2.0 will support legacy MIDI 1.0, so perhaps then it may support connecting ports to each other and also Pd to jack through that new service. I haven't looked at this scenario yet. Besides that , perhaps we will see something alike pipewire on windows which already has replaced the jack driver on Linux.

In QJackCtl the option to select a MIDI driver is just greyed out? I’ve been able to use loopMIDI for a loopback MIDI device to connect programs, but that sidesteps Jack completely which is not what I want. In my testing scenario, I have Pure Data (Pd) running the audio/midi test patch, and Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard (VMPK) as well, a piano keyboard. I can use loopMIDI to connect the two and Pd will successfully send random MIDI notes to VMPK which it will then play as audio. But again, I want to be using Jack for this instead so I can manage things in one place. How can I route MIDI data between these two applications via Jack on Windows? _______________________________________________ JackAudio mailing list -- jackaudio(a)lists.linuxaudio.org To unsubscribe send an email to jackaudio-leave(a)lists.linuxaudio.org
