This guide explains how to setup your system in order to control the Jamulus Mixerboard using a MIDI Control Surface device (or similar) using JACK. In this article Windows is used as an example, however it will be possible to perform this on other platforms as well. For Linux, the process will be very similar as this platform also uses JACK. You will need to install an extra component (like a2jmidid) to allow the midi device to connect to JACK. For macOS you can use MIDI Studio to ensure the midi connection is linked properly to Jamulus.

We’re using JACK for Windows however, it is also possible to use different software like VoiceMeeter Banana, ASIO LinkPro or similar. I assume you already know how to install software or know someone who helps you with that.

If you want to connect many sources (e.g. voice + keyboard + bass), it is important to note that Jamulus currently handles only 2 input channels (either Mono 1 and 2 or Stereo L/R). So the hardware (audio interfaces or mixers) being used must provide a mixed-down 2 channels output to Jamulus.
Audio Interfaces generally output a mixed signal on their analogue output, but separate signals (1 per source) on their digital output (USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt).
Mixers generally only output mixed-down signals on their analogue output.
Mixers with USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt generally only output a mixed-down signal on their analogue and digital output.
A few Mixers with USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt (sometimes called “mixerface”) can send a stereo mixed-down signal AND/OR separate signals on the digital output.
Alternatively, you could run more instances of Jamulus, if your hardware/software supports it, or use a software mixer with virtual routing between your hardware and Jamulus (examples: Reaper with ReaRoute [Windows], UAD 8’s Console).
