+
+ Ardour's handling of MIDI editing differs from most other DAWs
+ and MIDI sequencers.
+
+
+Key features of Ardour MIDI handling
+
+ -
+ All editing is done in-place, in-window. There is no separate piano roll
+ window or pane. Edit notes right where you see them.
+
+ -
+ All MIDI I/O is done via JACK for sample accurate timing and maximal
+ efficiency when communicating with external software synthesizers.
+
+ -
+ Every MIDI track has its own JACK MIDI port for input; it may have an
+ arbitrary combination of audio and MIDI outputs, depending on the signal
+ processing in the track; the full flexibility of JACK connectivity is
+ present for MIDI just as it is for audio.
+
+ -
+ Full automation for MIDI tracks, integrated with the handling of all MIDI
+ CC data for each track.
+
+ -
+ Controllers (CC data) can be set to discrete or continuous modes (the
+ latter will interpolate between control points and send additional
+ data).
+
+ -
+ There is a Normal and a Percussive mode for note data editing.
+
+ -
+ The scroomer is a combination scroll/zoom tool for altering
+ the zoom level and range of visible MIDI data.
+
+
+
+Notable Differences
+
+ -
+ Fader (volume) control currently operates on transmitted MIDI data, not by sending CC
+ #7.
+
+ -
+ All note/data editing is per-region. There are no cross-region operations at this
+ time.
+
+ -
+ By default, copying a MIDI region creates a deep link
+ — both regions share the same data source, and edits to the contents of
+ one will affect the other. To break this link, select
+ from the region
+ context menu, after which the selected region(s) will have their own copies
+ of only the data that they visually display on screen. You will not
+ be able to trim the region back its original length after an Unlink operation,
+ and the operation cannot be undone.
