The USB host driver get initialized, and loads all USB device drivers,
before ALSA is initialized.
Put the line:
snd-usb-audio
into the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file to prevent this.

Both ports are available under this file, but this is an internal file
that should be accessed by the ALSA library only.
You should configure your program to use ALSA MIDI ports named
"hw:1,0,0" and "hw:1,0,1". If your program doesn't support this, load
the snd-virmidi driver, connect its ports to the 2x2's ports (with
aconnect or kaconnect), and use the virtual ports in Ardour. (If
loaded as card #2, the files for these will be /dev/midi02 and
/dev/amidi02.)
