a2jmidid - JACK MIDI daemon for ALSA MIDI

       Eric Hedekar <after the beep at g mail dot nospam com>

       a2jmidid  is  a daemon that implements automatic bridging. For every ALSA sequencer port you get one jack
       midi port. If ALSA sequencer port is both input and output one, you get two JACK MIDI  ports,  one  input
       and output.

       ALSA  does  not guarantee client names to by unique. I.e. it is possible to have two apps that create two
       clients with same ALSA client name.  JACK however requires port  names  to  be  unique.  To  ensure  this
       uniqueness,  a2jmidid  will  add  the  unique numeric ALSA client ID to the JACK port name.  However this
       behaviour is known to be problematic when restoring connections using simplistic tools  like  aj-snapshot
       and jack_connect.  In order to make them work, the -u option can be used. This option will cause a2jmidid
       to  omit the numeric ALSA Client ID from JACK port names.  In this mode, ALSA client name uniqueness must
       be guaranteed externally.

       -e | --export-hw
              forces a2jmidid to bridge hardware ports as well as software ports

       -u     forces a2jmidid to generate non-unique port names (see NOTES)

       -j     specifies which jack-server to use

a2j_control(1), a2jmidi_bridge(1), j2amidi_bridge(1)
