<h2>MIDI Handling Frameworks</h2>
<p>
MIDI input and output for Ardour are handled by the same "engine"
- that handles audio input and output. Up to release 3.5, that means
- that all MIDI I/O takes place via JACK. JACK itself uses the
- native MIDI support of the operating system to receive and send
- MIDI data. The native MIDI support provides device drivers for MIDI
- hardware and libraries needed by software applications that want to
- work with MIDI.
