Hi Rui
Is there a possibility to add support for aj2midid in QjackCtl? It's a neat little command line tool for showing up hardware-midi-keyboards as jack-midi connections.
I tried putting 'a2jmidid -e' as a command to start after jackd in QjackCtl's set-up optionsl but QjackCtl hangs as the a2jmidid thread stays open until it receives a control-c to stop the bridge.
Perhaps you have a better idea.
Best regards, Simon
Re: Support for aj2midid in QjackCtl
missing a trailing ampersand ?
a2jmidid -e &you need it, if you reaaly want to run the program in the background, otherwise qjackctl will just hang waiting for it to finish.
cheers
aj2midid
Hi Rui
The ampersand trick is perfect.
A need a second trick to stop the a2jmidid bridge when I hit stop on QjackCtl's control panel - any Ideas?
Best regards, Simon
killall a2jmidid
hth
I'd like to do this!
Hello Simon, Rui, I'd love to do this, but I have no expertise in programming, how difficult would it be to make this modifications? Or could you send me a copy of the code I need to modify? If it's not much trouble for you of course.
thanks very much

@maghoxfr
What exactly would you like to do?
Simon asked to run `
a2jmidid &` as a post-startup script and I suggested `killall a2jmidid` as a pre-shutdown script. These are options under Setup.../Options/Scripting, while on QjackCtl configuration. What you'd like to do more?Seeya
Thank you!
Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to do. It was to connect my midi keyboard to yoshimi, now I can do that. I know it must be annoying having guys like me asking stupid questions.
Thanks for your help and for all your software, I'm a huge fan and base my linux-music-production on them. Qjackctl, Qtractor and Qsynth are the ones I open as soon as I turn on the pc.
