You need to connect one of these two:

Well, I tried every combination of inputs and outputs I could
think of, but it didn't work.
Try "aseqdump -p BCF2000:0" to see whether any data arrives.
If it does, there is some problem with the connection to ardour.
I just tried that, and I get

Waiting for data. Press Ctrl+C to end.

etc.
I just thought about this a little bit more.  My original
problem is not that data won't come out of the BCF2000.  It
works fine with ardour when ardour addresses the hardware as
device="/dev/snd/midiC3D0".  But, when ardour relies on a MIDI
patchbay to connect the ardour:mcu MIDI port to a port on the
BCF2000, then the connection isn't made.  At this point my
supposition for testing is that ardour listens fine and the
BCF2000 talks fine, but a connection between the two isn't being
made.

I'd like help debugging the connection issue, or confirming that
it's not a connection issue.

I tried ardour 2.0.2 again with "28:BCF2000"'s "0:BCF2000 MIDI 1"
output connected to "129:ardour"'s "1:mcu" input and this time I
get one line of input traced:

mcu input: Channel 3 Pitch Bend 6147

At that point things seem to hang.  If I try to quit ardour I
get the dialog about saving first or just quitting.  But, after
selecting to just quit ardour doesn't quit, and I have to ctrl-c.
Again, communication seems to be hung somewhere, but where?

I experienced similar issues with my BCF2000 in mcu mode. I didn't (and don't) have the time to do a decent bug report though.

What I remember is that connecting the bcf to arours mcu port caused ardour UI to freeze for a while. The audio keeps on playing though. Ardour's response to the BCF was rather unpredictable (sometimes the faders worked, sometimes they didn't), although everything comes in fine at aseqdump.

My 2 cents,

Pieter
