Mapping MIDI control surface controls

Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?
#21

I’m not yet very deep into Ardour, so I just want to ask if there is a way to map entirely a control surface from scratch. I have an old Event EZbus (USB) , with 3 midi channels, the 1st one is for control. The is no mapping for it, so I’d like to build my own one for Ardour. Is this possible ?

Thanks

@stanlea: for ardour3, yes, and the article that you’re commenting on describes how to do it.

Are there other controller surfaces like for microfreak or mpk mini?

Better to start a new thread than post to one last updated 15 years ago, but start with the manual:

Microfreak is a synth, are you sure you didn’t mean microlab?

MIDI keyboards usually require the Generic MIDI control surface, with the exception of latest Novation mk4 ones that have a dedicated control surface.

Tell me what you are trying to do, and I’ll tell you what to read or watch.
