hello,
I've been looking at ingen ( http://drobilla.net/software/ingen/ ). Had
some problems getting it to build, but the trick turns out to be to
install liblo and libsoup bfore you configure the build. It's a really
nice bit of software - a GUI modular synth that lets you design and save
simple patches which can then be used as building blocks for more
complex ones.
The main problem I'm having with it so far is that it doesn't seem to
understand alsa midi - only jack midi. This is difficult as I don't have
or know of any midi programs (particularly a virtual keyboard) which
produce jack midi signals.
Does anyone know of an easy way to convert alsa midi into jack midi and
vice versa?

Hi!
There's a bridging application by Dmitry Baikov. It's called
jackmidi_alsaseq. I don't have the url ready, where you can download it, but
there were discussions and announcements here before. So a search through the
archives might help.
Kindest regards
Julien

I'm not sure if this qualifies as an easy way, but try this:

There appears to be no such thing in my jackd. I'm using 0.116.1-4.
No ALSA MIDI devices show up in JACK MIDI at all by default. I can run a2jmidid but
I'd rather do it natively inside JACK if possible.

jackd
-Xseq ...other options
or -Xraw
There appears to be no such thing in my jackd. I'm using 0.116.1-4.
I can't
remember, when it has been introduced
but I think v0.116.x does work.
Have a look at the manpage, if the X option is mentioned.
No ALSA MIDI devices show up in JACK MIDI at all by default.
What do you mean with
"JACK MIDI" exactly?
Here, they show up in the jack-midi window of the qjackctl application.

If you are using the alsa-backend of jack for
audio, there is a commandline
switch to also forward the alsa-hw midi ports to jack-midi directly in jackd.
If not (because you use a firewire-device for example) a2jmidid has a
commandline-option to also bridge the alsa-hw midi ports to jack-midi...
What is this command-line switch, exactly?
