Hi Clemens, Thanks for the reply. I still don't understand where the usb-midi i/o device is. Here's my device chain Tascam DM-24 digital mixing consol and ardour. DM-24 (mmc) -> to Ardour, Ardour (mtc) -> DM-24 The DM-24 sends a deferred play (type =3) to Ardour and causes the Ardour transport to play engage. Ardour in turn replies with MTC to syncronize the location of the DM-24 transport with itself. I've used 'dd...' to look for incoming messages: 'dd bs=1 if=/dev/snd/midiC1D0' There's no messages passing through /dev/snd/midiC1D0 which is the device I use with the Audiophile 2496 for example <MIDI-port tag="midisport" device="/dev/snd/midiC1D0" type="alsa/raw" mode="duplex"/>. Perhaps I'm missing the obvious. ron --- Clemens Ladisch <clemens@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > R Parker wrote: > > > > I'm trying to figure out what device I should > point > > applications (ardour) at in order for them to see > > incoming mmc and to send mtc.
