Within the Options menu there are flags that can be set that will cause Ardour to print Midi and MTC messages to the consol from which it was started. I'd suggest gettting those messages and sending a report to ardour-dev. It's been a long time but I seem to recall controlling transport from external MTC. I believe that Ardour 1.0 will abandon MTC generation in favor of SMPTE--not sure if that applies to reading external messages. Anyone know? Ardour generates bursty MTC which isn't very useful because devices like my Tascam DM-24 can't interpret it. Apparently SMPTE will be significantly easier to implement. I'm looking forward to SMPTE because I desperately need to sync Ardour and a mixer. > 3) sync Ardour to sequencer inside computer - say > rosegarden - via MTC I guess > - whatever works... The preferred solution for syncing jack clients is jack_transport functionality. I haven't noticed any of the midi sequencer developers announcing inclusion of Jack O'Quin's new transport feature set. I believe the API is stable and waiting for people to implement it. Paul D. recently announced that he has the transport functionality for Ardour at %80. I would suggest asking the Rosegarden and Muse developers if it's on their radar. I believe you'll find that JAMin and ecasound support the new functionality. Alsaplayer might too. The old sync functionality is still supported but obviously deprecated. So you can probably sync an ecasound, jamin alsaplayer chain. ron > anxiously awaiting replies :) thanks, have fun and > yay! :) > > -- > -------------- > Aaron Trumm > NQuit > www.nquit.com > -------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
