Wow I was just contemplating how much i would have to learn if i wanted 
to write a patch that would add alsa-midi ports behavior to seq24.  
looks like i should keep up with the change logs.  thanks for the tip.
Patching the midi signals to their apropriate posts is the ideal 
behavior for me as the synths never seem to have the same port number 
twice, and i was often in the position of saying to a prospective 
listener "just wait a sec... it's really cool, promise..." while 
fiddling with those pop up port lists to reconfigure the outputs every 
time, trying to remember what zyn channel number i put that sound on.  
Now it's just drag one line across the screen, and wham. sound.
now if seq24 could just lash, it and zyn would be the ultimate time 
sucking beat looping dohicky. 
is any one working on adding lash support to seq24?
