Hi All. I am just reading the responses, and I am

after sending this email. But I want to share this - I got it work. Got
up at 4:30am, just now got it working. I don't really understand
completely what I've done, but here it is. Maybe y'all can help me better
understand why all this works.
BTW, I apologize that my email last night was unpleasant; I was really
upset, but should have moderated the email better. And - maybe I will
consider getting rid of PA, but the thing is, it "comes with" AV Linux and
so it was more convenient for me to try and live with it. As for using a
Mac for all this; had never thought of that. Interesting idea. (Can one
purchase and load MAC OS on my tower PC?)
What I did:
1. Turned off "autospawn" in PA client.conf. I don't know yet if I need
to implement a way to make this temporary.
I find that a good choice on a computer used for serious audio work.
It's sometimes inconvenient when you forgot to start it in time (like
having to kill and restart applications that chose to grab ALSA
exclusively instead) but it's good _not_ to have to worry about it
restarting when actually doing DAW/audio work.

Thanks David. Now I'm having a problem with the USB over MIDI connecting
properly to the computer. When I click on a piano key in the Pianoteq
application it plays fine, but somehow I have the USB over midi configured
wrong. I'm running a2 J m i d i d - e, but then I don't remember what to
connect with what, on midi or alsa qjackctl tabs, to get it to work. And
I'm no longer sure whether I need the midi translation to be set to
sequential or raw or none. Thanks again for the help.

IIRC a2jmidid connections are made by the "cryptic" ALSA MIDI
through ;).

I've just tested and the useful connection shows up (for me) as:

In the MIDI tab! Under a2j. Ardour shows a similar string in the dropdown
next to the green MIDI socket icon (and abbreviates it to a2j) on the Mixer
page. After selection in Ardour; the QjackCtl Connections window shows the
connection made and the name you've given the instrument.
(With '/usr/bin/a2jmidid -e &' Executed after startup)
That's a MOTU UltraLite you know :) Loving it so far, aber...

Yes, the ALSA tab in QJackCtl is for native ALSA devices. The point of
a2j is that it creates a bridge so that ALSA devices show up as jack MIDI
devices, which is what is displayed in the MIDI tab of qjackctl (i.e. jack
native MIDI device connections show in the MIDI tab, so for example MIDI
ports exposed by Ardour should show up there).
