The Mackie above is a control surface. I want to use it with Ardour.
Here are some instructions for that. The 1st link references the
2nd, which references the 3rd.

That last link says to "uncheck the Misc > Enable ALSA Sequencer support"
which is the same thing as avoiding "-Xseq". After going through that,
and going with "a2jmidid -e" then my Behringer BCF2000 control surface
worked just fine.
But, the Mackie has no USB port, only MIDI ports, and I have not been
able to get anything Linux to talk to it.
I'm trying to figure out how to interconnect
the *MIDI* of the following:
- M-Audio Delta 1010 hardware MIDI ports
- Mackie Control Universal hardware MIDI ports
- Alesis QS8 hardware synth
- a2jmidid software MIDI interface
- Ardour jack-MIDI ports
What can you folks advise?
Hey Kevin,
I've got the same card and I use MIDI everytime I work with my system.
Why do you use a2jmidid, when JACK has its own option?
jackd ... -Xseq
Valid for JACK1 and JACK2 (JACKmp). I don't have an external mixer (I assume the
Mackie is one)
but I have synths. Depending on the software I'm running I use
jack_connect or any patchbay I like or the software itself
offers a way to connect to a jACK port directly. I've never
used Ardour, so no help there. If there is a particular
problem along the way it will be easier to answer. I hope this
helped some.
See my above Ardour <--> MIDI <--> Mackie question.
Thanks...
