Hi,
I would like to connect my AKAI LPK 25 with Ardour. but the program doesn’t detect the AKAI.
I have also installed the Editing software: https://www.akaipro.com/lpk25-lpk25
I have read on the forum about “JACK on Windows” http://jackaudio.org/faq/jack_on_windows.html
I have also installed. But when I selected at “Audio System: JACK” the Ardour suddenly stops.
Please help me!
Thank you in advance.
Zsolt
Where are you looking for it? The input should be midi and so add a midi track. Once you have done that, in the mixer window look at the track you just added and click on the input selector. (see http://manual.ardour.org/ardours-interface/audio-midi-mixer-strips/ ) you should see your keyboard listed there.
Oh my, I can’t see any reason to use jack on windows at least not for this reason. You are reading something that is probably quite old. Jack has not been required to run Ardour for some time now on any OS.
The big thing to remember here is that you are dealing with MIDI not audio. therefore it will not show up as an audio device. Feel free to select your system audio device for audio. Ardour does not select one MIDI device or the other but sees all of them and each midi track can select which of these devices to use.
Thank you so much for your response and the link!
I had used Ardour with AKAI LPK ~ >2 years ago I forgot the config. 
Bests,
Zsolt
