How To Install a2jmidid on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install a2jmidid on Fedora 34.
What is a2jmidid
a2jmidid is a project that aims to ease usage of legacy ALSA sequencer applications, in a JACK MIDI enabled system. There are two ways to use legacy ALSA sequencer applications in JACK MIDI system. The first approach is to use 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. The second approach is to static bridges. You start application that creates one ALSA sequencer port and one JACK MIDI port. Such bridge is unidirectional.
We can use yum or dnf to install a2jmidid on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install a2jmidid.
