a2jmidid is a daemon which bridges ALSA MIDI ports into the JACK MIDI world.
For 'raw' MIDI ports, such as USB MIDI devices, you either need to run a2jmidid with the '-e' parameter, or add '-X raw' when running JACK.
Interestingly, JACK developers (by way of Paul Davis) recommend using a2jmidid for exposing raw midi ports (https://community.ardour.org/node/4336), while the a2jmidid author recommends using the '-X raw' flag for JACK (https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?23272).
