Simply open the setup window, and select the "seq" option for the midi driver.  This will make it show up in both the ALSA and the MIDI tab.  You should be warned that it will not be properly labeled in the MIDI tab, as now everything in the ALSA tab will also show up in the MIDI tab, just with generic names.

However, as for what you want, it depends on what applications you are trying to use it with.  the ALSA tab is simply for applications using ALSA MIDI.  The MIDI tab is simply for applications using jackd MIDI.  In general it's fine to connect applications/keyboards in either of those tabs, the only important thing is that whatever two applications/controllers you want to connect show up in a common tab.

Hi.

Probably a beginner question but Google did not help me this time.

I am using Fedora17. I do have a M-Audio Axiom 49 connected via USB<->USB.

I am using qjackctl and whenever I connect the M-Audio device to the computer it gets connected via ALSA instead of appearing in the MIDI tab. But the latter is what I want, isn't it?

What do I need to change?

Many thanks in advance!

Matthias
