Hi Mathew,
The sentence, "Im trying to control a synth on a computer I am remote-logging into from home." is a bit confusing, perhaps you can clarify. What exactly do you mean by "remote-logging into" in the context of JamKazam? MIDI interfaces are selected when adding a MIDI track to your local JK computer, for control of soft synths on that same computer, such as VSTi's. For example, if I wish to be a drummer in JK (albeit, a very bad drummer...), I add a MIDI track to my JK setup, selecting the USB MIDI interface from my electric drumkit. Then I add a drum soft synth to that track, like Addictive Drums, whose audio outputs are now a track in JK, just like a vocal mic or guitar track. My electric drum kit simply triggers Addictive Drums. The MIDI capabilities of JK are limited to only the local MIDI devices on your local computer, and solely for the purpose of playing /triggering software instruments on the JK computer. If you have a LOCAL synth whose audio outputs are plugged into channels on your audio interface of your computer, simply create an audio track (mono or stereo) for this instrument, assigned to those channels. There is no remote control capability in JamKazam, strictly audio sharing ("jamming") with remote players playing their respective local instruments and sound sources - no MIDI data is transmitted. Hope this helps.
