As alternative to svn jackd, you could use alsaseq <-> jackmidi progies
too. They are bridges between alsa midi and jack midi.

And make sure you dont use qjackctl-0.2.22 (latest ATM). It does not
list jack midi ports. You may want to consider svn patchage as GUI
patchbay. Also jack_lsp will list jack midi ports too. And jack_connect
should work on them too. IIRC both are command line progies comming with
jack itself. Patchage is at http://wiki.drobilla.net/Patchage
