Sure - but how do I connect a sequencer to it, and how do I make

worse.
Well, alsa-seq, DMIDI or OSC, the linux MIDI sequencers I've seen
support alsa-seq, and some support OSC. All of these will give
better timing than hardware MIDI IIRC.
Well, I guess I'll just try one or more of them. I want to have
Audiality running as a JACK client ASAP, and the most important part
of that is the replacement of raw MIDI input with something
timestamped that some useful sequencer can handle. (Linux only of
course; I don't have, and don't want a Windows machine for sequencing
any more.)

OSC?
Maybe. It has been mentioned, IIRC. What happened?
Well, no,
because for advanced instruments (eg. a full featured
sampler) we have jack.
Well, yes - modulo a sample accurate event system that deals with
stuff beyond MIDI. Or we just
design an event system and strap that onto JACK as
well as a stripped version of LADSPA. :-)
I think its reasonable to expect a jack app to be able to
natively understand MIDI/OSC/CV/whatever.
