I’ve imported MIDI tracks to Ardour (official version 6.5 in Debian Sid) and added some synths. The track plays just fine. But any edit I make in the MIDI track has no effect (like deleting or moving a note).
There are no audio tracks in the project yet, just the MIDI tracks, and this occurs with every track and synth.
I’m sure I’m doing something incredibly stupid, but I cannot figure out what it could be. Any ideas?
I’m starting to think this might actually be a bug. I can reproduce it:
Create a MIDI file (in Muse, in my case). I made one with a single track and only 3 notes.
Create new Ardour session.
Import the MIDI file.
Add synth plugin.
Play it and all is fine.
Edit it. Visually you see the notes changes. But playing plays the notes before editing.
Create a new MIDI region in the same track. Add some notes. It plays as expected.
Move some notes around, and it also works as expected.
Play the imported region, and the previous edits take effect.
Editing this imported region does has again no effect!
Edit the created region, and it again works as expected.
Play the imported region and the second set of changes now play correctly.
Would anyone be willing to confirm this before I file a bug report? (At least I found a work around for now: create and edit a MIDI region in the same track.)
I may have encountered a similar issue that may be related. Imported a midi file, and transposed it. Had no effect on the playback, the playback was playing the notes in original key, even though it was visually showing notes transposed.
