Hey folks, what is the easiest way to deal with midi
input in a jack
app? I'm confused by the difference in jack midi and alsa midi,
because I have two midi inputs, one is a usb input, so it appears at a
low level as an alsa device, but the other is the midi input on a
firewire unit, and it appears as a jack midi device. I'd like to make
sure that whatever I do is easy to port to other systems. Does it make
sense to use portmidi or rtmidi to get input or should I stick to the
jack api entirely?
Alsa ports will show up in jack if you use the -X option to the alsa
driver, or the separate application a2jmidid.
I recommend using the Jack API entirely.
