I've just about turned the internet upside down searching for how to send MIDI events to JACK. Does anyone have a sample for sending MIDI signals (Note/Durration) as a Jack client ( in C ) so it can be connected to a sequencer?

All I need is:

  1. Create a connection so it will show up under the JACK MIDI client list.
  2. Start a note/pitch (Say, middle C) to JACK.
  3. Stop a note.
  4. Send Chords/Multiple notes(?)

Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: Or, is it possible to send MIDI events to JACK through some type of command line program?
