okay, now i have extra ports under the MIDI tab conveniently labeled
midi_capture_3 ... midi_playback_8 (presumably for the BCF2000 and ardour) in
addition to my soundcard ports. i tried some random connections here, but it
didn't do anything.
i've followed the online ardour manual
section 10.2, but it isn't
working. manual page shows the bcf showing up under MIDI in qjackctl
Connect window, but for me it comes up under ALSA. i tried various
combinations conncections to/from ardour from qjackctl but to no avail.
i'm using debian lenny on amd64 with ardour compiled from source (since
it's not in the debian distribution).
i have the bcf2000 connected through usb and it's showing up fine
in /proc/asound/cards.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
In qjackctls setup window, select 'seq' as Midi driver in the drop-down
menu at the bottom left. Then all Alsa-Midi ports should appear under
Alsa as well as under Midi. Some explanation of the two Midi systems:

idi_and_alsa-midi
thanks for the link. it doesn't solve my problem, but any info on how the
underlying software works is good to know.
under the ALSA tab i have the following out ports (in addition to my sound
card): MIDI 1 & 2 under the BCF2000 and control, mcu, & seq under ardour. the
in ports are the same for ardour, but i have MIDI 1, 2, & 3 for the BCF2000.
which outs connect to which ins?
