+title: Generic Midi Surface Control
+---
+
+<p>
+  Generic Midi allows synthesizers and other devices communicate with
+  Ardour. MIDI devices can send commands relating to playback (such as
+  play or stop), performance (such as volume, play, stop, and almost any
+  other function (such as Edit, or Undo).
+</p>
+<p>
+  Many MIDI control surfaces use predefined MIDI protocols such as the
+  "Mackie Control Protocol". In such cases it is best to use Ardour's
+  implementation of that protocol as it is likely more feature complete.
