+<p>
+  In order for CoreMIDI to work with Jack MIDI, a CoreMIDI-to-JACK-MIDI
+  <dfn>bridge</dfn>
+  is required. This feature is available on versions equal to or great than
+  version 0.89 of JackOSX.

+<h2>Routing MIDI</h2>
+<h3>Inside Ardour</h3>
+<p>
+  MIDI ports show up in Ardour's MIDI connection matrix in multiple
+  locations. Bridged CoreMIDI ports as well as JACK MIDI ports that have 
+  been created by other software clients will show up under the "Other" tab. 
+  Bridged CoreMIDI hardware ports show up under the "Hardware" tab.
+</p>
+
+<h3>External Applications</h3>
+<p>
+  There are multiple options for connecting MIDI ports outside of Ardour.
+</p>

+  <li><a href="http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/">MIDI Monitor</a> is a handy
+  tool for doing various MIDI-related tasks.</li>
+  <li><a href="http://notahat.com/midi_patchbay/">MIDI Patchbay</a> lets you
