+ MIDI is + a way to describe musical performances and to control music hardware and + software. +
++ Ardour can import and record MIDI data, and perform a variety of editing + operations on it. Furthermore, MIDI can be used to control various functions + of Ardour. +
++ MIDI input and output for Ardour are handled internally by the same "engine" that + handles audio input and output. However, Ardour can use as many MIDI devices + as the system can see as there are no syncing difficulties as there would be with audio. +
+ +OS X | +CoreMIDI is the standard MIDI framework on OSX systems. |
---|---|
Linux | +ALSA MIDI is the + standard MIDI framework on Linux systems. |
Windows | +MME is the standard + MIDI framework on Windows systems. |
+ JACK is an + alternate audio system which Ardour can utilize for both audio and + MIDI. JACK is used to route audio between independent applications, + and is now considered an advanced use case which is not recommended + for most users. Users with a need to use JACK for audio routing + should consult the latest documentation at + the JACK website. +
