I have been using IEM Plugins recently. Automation works fine, including moving the Ardour’s faders with the mouse.
However when I midi learn Ardour’s automation faders with my controller, the faders will only jump once in a while to a seemingly random value and otherwise won’t move. (this is not an issue with other plugins)
Is this normal behavior considering those plugins accept OSC controllers, but no mention of midi?
Sorry if this issue comes from the plugins themselves

Have you tried adjusting the smoothing parameter for Generic MIDI control?

Yes I fiddled around with that but no value seems to fix this, also it is working fine for the gain fader for example.

Well, let’s start by opening Window > MIDI Trace
Use the drop down to select the MIDI Control port.
Enable timestamps.
Now do a full fader sweep up and down at 3 or 4 different speeds.
Paste the output here for us to take a look at.

For the record, the smoothing parameter is set at 127

That’s a nice smooth stream of MIDI data coming from the controller. Can you check out one of the ACE plugins builtin to Ardour to see how it behaves with the same controller?

Actually with a long enough fader sweep the automation will jump to one new value in the right direction but no more. It feels like a fast sweep will create a bigger jump.

Just tried with the ACE delay and the same controller, it works perfectly fine.

A video will show the behavior better than a description
And here’s a screenshot of the plugin if it matters:
