 Hi.

 That's completely normal. There are multiple different frameworks to
 access a MIDI port. Your application only supports the alsa-seq interface,
 not the jack-midi (jack-midi is what you see in qjackctl's "MIDI" page).

 Three ways to fix:

  * convince your application developer to support jack midi (probably a
 good idea)
  * convince FFADO to export the MIDI port to alsa-seq (don't know what
 FFADO's alsa plugin does)
  * use a software bridge to export your jack midi ports to alsa-seq.
 (http://home.gna.org/a2jmidid/)

 The last option is your instant fix, giving you the ports immediately.

 HTH

 PS: Linuxsampler is an example for an application supporting the jack-midi
 API.
