Hi,
a2jmidid bridges alsa MIDI ports with JACK MIDI ports.
It's a quite old and unmaintained? program.
Is it still needed with recent JACK2 server or is there an alternative.
I know JACK1 has this functionality built-in, what's JACK2 status?
Thanks
Guido

Its git version work fine and compile without warning with gcc 9.2 here.
I don't know for the other versions.

You can start it with cadence with an option to autostart it at login.
Ciao,

If you have a problem and you are not doing anything to fix it, you are
at the heart of the problem.

I'm curious, which programs do you use, which still only provide ALSA
MIDI in- and output?
I find that I don't really need a2midid anymore.

Just reporting that I, personally, don't have much of a need for
a2jmidid anymore.

JACK2.
Interesting. Can you give a pointer to background information on that?

That's something I also found curious. Also, how accurate is 'accurate'.
I'm
using jack2 for audio (at 64 frames/48k), but ALSA for midi - all through, which
I would have through would result in less buffering.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

No pointer, just an assurance that the builtin ALSA MIDI handling in JACK2
has lots of jitter. a2jmidid does not.
It has been discussed on various LA mailing lists and elsewhere many times.

It is not the programs so much as getting the device MIDI from alsa to
jack. I have to wonder if anyone ever uses a2jmidid with out the -e. I
think for most people that is all they are interested in.

Hi all!
Sorry to chime in so late. I kinda forgot about this mail thread and am
on too many mailing lists ;-)

As Robin pointed out, I've imported Nedko Arnaudov's a2jmidid to the
linuxaudio github organization for further maintenance [1], until its
functionality is fully merged into jack2 [2].
In case anyone's interested in co-maintaining it, please feel free to
ping me! Also, patches welcome! :-)
Bests,
David
