Ardour 2.X supported
- <a href="/using-control-surfaces/generic-midi/midi-learn/"><dfn>MIDI learning</dfn></a>
+ <a href="@@generic-midi-learn"><dfn>MIDI learning</dfn></a>
for more or less any control. This was a nice feature that quite a few other
DAWs are providing by now, but it didn't allow Ardour to work "out of the
box" with sensible defaults for existing commercial MIDI
A track/bus binding has one of two basic structures
</p>
<code>
- <Binding <em>msg specification</em> uri="<em>... control address ...</em>"/>
- <Binding <em>msg specification</em> function="<em>... function name ...</em>"/>
+ <Binding <em>msg specification</em> uri="<em>… control address …</em>"/>
+ <Binding <em>msg specification</em> function="<em>… function name …</em>"/>
</code>
<h4>Message specifications</h4>
like this:
</p>
<code>
- <Binding channel="1" ctl="13" ....
+ <Binding channel="1" ctl="13" ….
</code>
<p>
This defines a binding for a MIDI Continuous Controller message involving
offsets rather than values. These accept Continuous Controller messages
but treat them as offsets. These are good for banked controls as they are
always at the right spot to start adjusting. (

You can also bind sysex messages:
</p>
<code>
- <Binding sysex="f0 0 0 e 9 0 5b f7" ....
- <Binding sysex="f0 7f 0 6 7 f7" ....
+ <Binding sysex="f0 0 0 e 9 0 5b f7" ….
+ <Binding sysex="f0 7f 0 6 7 f7" ….
</code>
<p>
The string after the <code>sysex=</code> part is the sequence of MIDI bytes,
<p>
Finally, you can bind a totally arbitrary MIDI message:</p>
<code>
- <Binding msg="f0 0 0 e 9 0 5b f7" ....
- <Binding msg="80 60 40" ....
+ <Binding msg="f0 0 0 e 9 0 5b f7" ….
+ <Binding msg="80 60 40" ….
</code>
<p>
The string after the <code>msg=</code> part is the sequence of MIDI bytes, as
<p>
One additional feature: for solo and mute bindings, you can also add
<code>momentary="yes"</code> after the control address. This is useful
- primarily for NoteOn bindings — when Ardour gets the NoteOn it
+ primarily for NoteOn bindings—when Ardour gets the NoteOn it
will solo or mute the targetted track or bus, but then when a NoteOff
arrives, it will un-solo or un-mute it.
</p>
for far fewer tracks & busses than many users want to control,
Ardour offers the relatively common place concept of <dfn>banks</dfn>. Banks
allow you to control any number of tracks and/or busses easily,
- regardless of how many faders/knobs etc. your control surface has.<br />
+ regardless of how many faders/knobs etc. your control surface has.<br>
To use banking, the control addresses must be specified using the
<dfn>bank relative</dfn> format mentioned above ("B1" to identify
the first track of a bank of tracks, rather than "1" to identify
(the channel range may change at some point).
