Assuming linux (this being LAU) there are three posibilities: jackd1 jackd2 with a2jmidid alsa I can only speak from experience with jackd2+a2jmidi. First there are settings to turn midi clock or midi tc on in preferences. When I moved to Ardour5 I started with a clean ~/.config/ardour5/ directory not bringing in any settings from Ardour4. And these are turned off by default (I didn't turn them off). Second, when I do turn them on, no connections show up. Third, What midi autoconnection I have dealt with when adding midi channels has not been correct. I have been using a controller (mackie style) and the midi channels just go through all midi inputs it can find and uses them sequencially. So the first channel gets Midi Through (bad), the second gets Ensoniq AudioPCI (good), The third gets the surface midi (bad) Ardour does not know which midi ports to use for what. All of the above ports are marked Terminal|Hardware so Ardour assumes they are valid midi sources for midi tracks. However, once things are connected as they should be, those connections are remembered for next session load as well as new sessions (except for the channel connections unless you use a template) -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net
