Which programs are these, other than ZynAddSubFX? That's a bad bug,
that would render such programs unusuable to a professional. And
there's no excuse for it, it should be trivial to add support for
selecting the MIDI device to use.
I beg to differ.
Selecting the input device is seldom interesting to do from the softsynth.
The routing is primarily done by the host program or a specifically crafted
routing app, like qjackctl or kaconnect.
After spending a few days on this, I found that I started in Lee's camp,
bpt fairly quickly moved to Robert's. While it's non-intuitive to a
total MIDI n00b such as myself, once I realized that I use the connection
program of my choice (qjackctl, in my case), it is a straightforward thing
to make the connections.
ZynAddSubFX is at least consistent in its approach; it doesn't make any
connections to audio output channels, either. You have to use a Jack
routing program for that as well.
