This is from Gemini, not @jofemodo I thought it might help:
how to route the output using a2j bridge?
To route output using an a2j bridge, you need to
use a graphical patching utility like QjackCtl or a command-line tool to connect the virtual MIDI ports created by
a2jmidid. The a2j bridge (a2jmidid) translates MIDI events between the legacy ALSA MIDI system and the more flexible JACK MIDI system.
The bridging process
-
Enable the bridge: Run the
a2jmididdaemon to export your ALSA MIDI ports to JACK. -
Connect the ports: Use a connection manager to route the MIDI output from the
a2jclient (your ALSA device) to the input of a JACK-aware application.
