Hi LAU,
Hi Lorenzo,
Is there some stand-alone host (e.g. like jalv) which supports ALSA
midi
out of the box?
Any reason that using Jalv with "a2jmidid"
(https://github.com/jackaudio/a2jmidid
<https://github.com/jackaudio/a2jmidid>) isn't a good/working solution?
Sorry its not answering your direct question!
That's what I use in situations where only jack-midi is available. I
guess the reason to prefer alsa-midi directly is for direct connection
and not having to start a2jmidid, so not strictly a technical reason.
I was just wondering if anything which supported alsa-midi 'out of the
box' existed given that there are a couple of major Linux sequencers as
well as Pd that only support alsa-midi.
I guess adding ALSA Midi/Seq IO to Jalv wouldn't be huge work - but
there'd need to be some technical reason
that using a2jmidid isn't a good solution..?
I imagined so and understand the overhead of supporting both, so your
answer is appreciated :-)
I guess probably a solution to make the use of instrument LV2s a bit
more straightforward would be to automate launching a2jmidid and then
maybe some helper script for jalv together with lv2ls and lv2info (like
a simple python/Tk something...)
