Mapping M-audio Axiom 25 in Ardour 8 and questions about DirectLink

#1

Hello!
I’ve recently bought a M-audio axiom 25,the integrated binding map for the transport controls didn’t work until i change the code into this:

  <Binding msg="bf 71 7f"         function="loop-toggle"/>
  <Binding msg="bf 72 7f"         action="Transport/Rewind"/>
  <Binding msg="bf 73 7f"         action="Transport/Forward"/>
  <Binding msg="bf 74 7f"         function="transport-stop"/>
  <Binding msg="bf 75 7f"         function="transport-roll"/>
  <Binding msg="bf 76 7f"         action="Transport/record-roll"/>

I honestly don’t know why the message id is “bf XX 7f” but it worked.

Most importantly, there’s two buttons on the midi control which were supposed to select tracks on the daw. The user guide says that it work with DirectLink but i don’t know if it’s compatible with Ardour. I tried to use the midi tracer to see if i can overpass it but it didn’t detect any signals.

Does anyone have a clue ? Can it even work on Ardour?

To be more precise my question is : Do DirectLink work on Ardour 8? if yes how does it work? if not,is there a way to overpass it?
