Jack outputs are the output ports on the iiwusynth. Think of them as 1/4"

connectors.
Physical ports are the inputs to your output power amp in your sound card.

Think of them as your keyboard amp.
If you use qjackconnect, you'll get a GUI that will make this more obvious.

It will show you your sound card ports and your soft synth ports. iiwusynth

hook up automatically to playback_1 & 2, so I get sound automatically.

ZynAddSubFx does not. You must hook it up using qjc to get sound. (Or

possibly at the command line.)
