Hiya,

A few years back I was using my BCF2000 with ardour.  After upgrades
to my computer hardware and Linux distribution the combination no
longer works.

The BCF shows up in /proc/asound fine.  I can send and receive data
with the BCF using amidi.

The test of tracing communication between the BCF and ardour fails.
I think this is because the mcu (port?) of ardour isn't connected to
the BCF.  But, qjackctl won't let me connect those.  They don't
show up in the MIDI tab of qjackctl.  They only show up in the ALSA
tab of qjackctl.

run a2jmidid -e

if you want a second rate solution, use JACK's "builtin" ALSA MIDI support via the "MIDI Driver" selector at teh bottom left of the setup dialog.
