NAME

6       a2jmidid - JACK MIDI daemon for ALSA MIDI
7

SYNOPSIS

9       a2jmidid [-j jack-server] [e | --export-hw]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       a2jmidid is a daemon that implements automatic bridging. For every ALSA
13       sequencer port you get one JACK midi port. If ALSA  sequencer  port  is
14       both  input  and output one, you get two JACK MIDI ports, one input and
15       output.
16

OPTIONS

18       -e | --export-hw
19              forces a2jmidid to bridge hardware ports  as  well  as  software
20              ports
21
22       -u     forces a2jmidid to generate non-unique port names (see NOTES)
23
24       -j     specifies which jack-server to use
25

NOTES

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