Is there any virtual MIDI loopback solution for Ubuntu/Linux?
I'm not sure how many of you play music, but in Windows there are several virtual MIDI loopback software to route MIDI from one program to another. For example, loopMIDI and midiyoke, and LoopBe1. In Mac, I think it is known as IAC drivers.

In Linux, applications can create the same kind of MIDI port as drivers, so a MIDI loopback driver is typically not necessary.
If you want to use one anyway, you can use the "Midi Through" port(s) created by the snd-seq-dummy driver, which is loaded automatically.

Sun's JVM thinks it is a good idea to bypass the ALSA sequencer and access the hardware directly, but you can use thesnd-virmididriver for that.

Thanks! I've enabled it withsudo modprobe snd-virmidiand printed like 35 virtual midi devices. Any way to reduce them?

You get 16 entries per port;midi_devs=1will not help much.
