Got that working. However, most of the user interface
in unreadable, i.e.
blue-white text on white background. I tried editing the default options bg
colours in the ardour_ui.rc file but this did not work. Maybe I do not
understand the RGB factors that appear to be there or whether these are RGB
factors. Some sort of visual shell for doing this is definitely in order.
Also, I found one can add all kinds of connections but once they are added,
one cannot get rid of them.
Rosegarden has a strange setup (studio) interface and
muse does not know what XG is
MusE does have a setting for XG (Settings->Midi Ports/Soft Synths->(the
instrument column), though as I don't have any XG equipment I don't know if
it works correctly (it should).
and Ardour does not do MIDI at all.
Using muse to play an existing, very dense MIDI file. NO problems except
that the file is 120/q and this is not an option in the program.
Sorry, I'm midi illiterate. What does 120/q mean?
If you mean changing tempo this is in the transport window:

(picture is missing though)
Cannot
hear any difference. MIDI must out to a real MIDI port, not to qjackctl
MIDI port.
For the record, qjackctl lists the alsa-sequencer midi-ports, they are not
anything that is specific to qjackctl. Setup a midi device in the Midi
Ports/Soft Synths dialog described above and then select this as output
device for your midi track. Then you should be off! :-)
I tried some of the soft-synths and they worked fine.
First time
out, they had skips but later on, no problem at all and seeing I am running
on a stock kernel on a 575mhz system and setiathome was running in the
background, I think this is OK!
Sounds great.
I was able to play XMMS wave file and listen to an internet "radio"
broadcast simultaneously (fun!) without a skip or xrun. Not at all bad.
Good :)

The
little qjackctl utility could use a mixer for all those "connections" :-),

Tthis UI is better than the windoze virtual audio cable interface and.
Works like MIDI thruway for MIDI. Just add the virtual channels.
