If the WIDI-Master device is paired as a Midi device then it should show up in the 'Alsa' tab in the Connections windows from qjackctl. By the way, qjackctl has two versions of the Connections window. I always choose the classic view via: "Setup (button) > Misc (tab) > (remove check mark next to:) Replace connections with Graph button".pax-eterna wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 8:23 pm [...]As for connections? Well the OS does show the device for pairing, and even shows the passcode for pairing and then reports it is connected and paired! Not sure what else it can do really. That's all I can go on...if the system says its paired I have to believe that yes?

I seem to recall you got it paired/connected before. However, the WIDI-Master did not show up as a midi device. Can you use a Midi-keyboard with the WIDI-Master device now?

That's great! Might buy me one of those WIDI Master devices myself.pax-eterna wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 7:16 pm Yes as i wrote above, been playing Pianoteq nicely!

Just to update this thread. I also now have it working it Reaper by using Qjackctl and linking the WIDI-Master to the Reaper port that shows there. I can even close off qjackctl after doing that and it still works as long as Reaper is open. The only downside is it needs to be done on a session basis. I can still use ALSA in Reaper for the audio.
