I don't know if there's such a tool. But AFAIK jack would only block

the raw MIDI device when you use "-X raw" to use the raw MIDI driver in

jack. Do you need that driver? If you don't, you can use the "seq"

driver instead. I find that one more useful anyway. You can change that

in Setup -> Settings in qjackctl. (Also, checking "Enable client/port

aliases" in Setup -> Display shows you readable MIDI device names in

the qjackctl MIDI tab, instead of the useless JACK default names.)
