Hi,
It seems that I'm very confused by the whole jack MIDI system. Are
there some docs to refer to, as in a tutorial? I'm confused why Julien
needs to use so many Jack applications to set up a single MIDI
connection...it's certainly less involved with aconnect. And I've
certainly started jackd with -X and have access to alsa sequencers--so
why the other timer and bridge apps, etc?
Best,
AKJ
It's incredible how often I can plug my blog recently :P
It's an attempt to explain what the different kinds of midi do and how
they're used:

It doesn't cover everything Julien tries to do. It doesn't cover
jack_transport (it has nothing to do with midi) and doesn't cover midi
synchronisation methods like MTC, SMPTE and whatever else there might
be.
