I just downloaded dino, and it became pretty

qjackctl has a MIDI tab. Is that of any use to you?
no, and neither is qjackctl. how do you get it to realize jackd is
already running and therefore show the start button dimmed (so it
doesnt error out trying to launch another one). wheres the input for a
custom command string?
to get jack midi going, you can add jackmidi to your USE flags on
gentoo. im not sure how to do it on debian - i guess you just hope
they enabled midi in their binary, or compile it yourself?
to get jackd to see your alsa midi devices, you have to do some extra
work. namely use
http://subversion.jackaudio.org/jack/branches/midi/jack and add the -X
flag to jackd initiation (i could only get raw working)
As alternative to svn jackd, you could use alsaseq <-> jackmidi progies
too. They are bridges between alsa midi and jack midi.
And make sure you dont use qjackctl-0.2.22 (latest ATM). It does not
list jack midi ports. You may want to consider svn patchage as GUI
patchbay. Also jack_lsp will list jack midi ports too. And jack_connect
should work on them too. IIRC both are command line progies comming with
jack itself. Patchage is at
