Hi Julien, it's not an answer to your question, but already an assumption, since QjackCtl only provides to show aliases for Jack clients, I guess there are no aliases for ALSA MIDI devices. If aliases should be available, it would be interesting for me too, because 2 of my MIDI interfaces share the same name. Card 1: TerraTec EWX24/96 at 0xbf00, irq 20 Card 2: TerraTec EWX24/96 at 0xbb00, irq 21 The different IRQs and card numbers aren't helpful for auto connecting MIDI, at least not in the ways I did it until now. Regards, Ralf
