As a point of interest you can set yoshimi to look for a named MIDI port at

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Hi!
Just found a solution to this problem:
I had to enable manual alsa ports in ~/.seq24rc to make seq24 create its own
alsa ports:
[manual-alsa-ports]
1
Before this change I had to make all the midi connections directly in
seq24. Now, I can use patchage, qjackctl, etc. to make midi
connections. Unfortunately this setting is not documented in the SEQ24 manual.
Well, it works now. aj-snapshot can save and restore all the
connections. Actually there's no need to use a2jmidid because aj-snapshot will
save the alsa midi connections.
Now I can finally start working with the setup! :-)
Hendrik My problem is a little different.
Here's a list of the MIDI Outputs:
neptun% aconnect -o
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 129: 'Hydrogen' [type=user]
0 'Hydrogen Midi-In'
client 131: 'yoshimi' [type=user]
0 'input '
These are the ports I can choose from in seq24. The problem is that the
numbering may change when hydrogen and yoshimi are restarted.
Therefore some patterns in seq24 may get played via the wrong MIDI
port. Is there a way to attach hydrogen and yoshimi to a port with a
fixed number?
I run a2jmidid [1] and at the end of the script aj-snapshot [2], to
connect Qtractor -> Yoshimi. From the file generated and restored by
aj-snapshot [3]. This always works. It's a very old script and I needed
to rewrite it regarding broken backwards compatibility issues :(, but I
had nothing to do regarding the MIDI connection between Qtractor and
two instances of Yoshimi, they still are automatically connected.
