How do I set up ardour so that when I hit play on my midi controller it plays etc.? I want to do this so that I can make reason and ardour play at the same time and do different things in each program and here how they sound together then eventually mix it all down to an audio track.
I tried using jack but it’s just too confusing so I figured this is one way of getting round the problem.
First thing to do is to find out what what your MIDI controller’s “play” button actually sends. It would be simplest if it just sent MMC commands (like a mixing console play button would), but its likely that its sends an MIDI Song Position message instead.
