Probably a long shot because most of y’all are on Linux, but I’m on Windows and trying to
use Jack2 on Windows to connect MIDI applications and failing horribly.
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?
