i'm using the ALSA tab with the default connections

ardour. the in ports are the same for ardour, but i have MIDI 1, 2, & 3
for the BCF2000. which outs connect to which ins?
AFAIK there is no disadvantage if the connections are done
in the Alsa tab, since both, the BCF and Ardour, don't use
Jack-Midi anyhow. The Midi tab shown in the Manual is
presumably the same as the Alsa tab today, the picture is
rather outdated. In Ardour I had to check 'Generic MIDI'
(options menu ->
control surfaces -> ...) before I could successfully
ctrl-middle-click the faders to assign them. Probably also
check 'feedback' for driving the motor faders.
yep, that did it. i got the faders and the panning knobs to work. i'm pretty
sure i know what to do now to get the rest going. thanks!
the other thing was to make sure MTC, MMC, and MIDI param control radio
buttons were set to the control port in preferences->MIDI. the ardour manual
seems to imply using the seq port, which didn't work. i'm not sure if all
need to be set to the control port, but at least one of them does. (the setup
that works is the default for new projects on version 2.8)
