Hey Alex1 It sort of worked. It involved a few commands and it wasn't too flexible tempowise, but I was able to sync midish to Ecasound. This is the script I used to start all the necessary commands (it uses GNU screen, to start all of them on one terminal): #!/bin/bash echo "Wiping old/dead screens..." screen -wipe 2>&1 /dev/null echo "Starting new screen session: audio..." screen -d -m -S audio sleep 1 echo "Starting jackd..." screen -X -S audio screen -t jack-daemon -p- -- jackd --timeout 4500 -R -d alsa -d hw:1 -r 48000 -H -p 128 -z shaped sleep 1 echo "Starting a2jmidid..." screen -X -S audio screen -t alsa_jack_midi -p- -- a2jmidid -e sleep 1 echo "Starting j2amidi_bridge..." screen -X -S audio screen -t jak_alsa_midi -p- -- j2amidi_bridge sleep 1 echo "Starting jack_midi_clock..." screen -X -S audio screen -t clock_source -p- -- jack_midi_clock sleep 1 jack_connect "Jack MIDI Clock:midi_out" "j2a_bridge:playback" echo "Starting Klick..." screen -X -S audio screen -t metronome -p- -- klick -T 4/4 120 sleep 1 screen -r audio Something like that is supposed to go into Nama later on.

Hello Aelx! Hm, can't you use asa midi for the main MIDI tracks, thereare still so many aps, which use alsa midi. JACK midi is coming along, but mostly I've seen it as an alternatie. So you could use midish or whatever for record/playback and jackmidi only for the synching bit, because the clock application only understand jackmidi.
