Yes, and my device is a midisport. > > But snd_rawmidi_open() has nothing to do with the sequencer, or with > virmidi. virmidi exists to make sequencer ports available via the raw > MIDI API so that programs which don't know about the sequencer can > still read and write data to it. > I do. I is a connection. I gets a client ID.

But it dont handle the same protocol as midisport. So how should I connect my device so I can use the midisport to talk to my synths? Rawmid on a snd-card-virmidi gives one way.

It is the api for midi programming. I don't have to think about active sensing, streaming or anything on the low level. And I get tools for routing the data as I like. I thougth that you should know the concept. Almost everything is in realtime. But some mappings i done in the time domain as well.
