However it does have the capability to control ardour - using it's faders and the pan pots, through it's midi I/O. Unfortunately - for some bizzare reason, the protocol for mute toggling changes on the - Behringer and is not compatible with ardour. Most commonly you would - setup ardour so the mixer and panning was reflected by the Behringer, - however you can control other elements of ardour such as plugin - controls/automation. This can potentially save a lot of time given you - can control a lot more than just one level at a time, as opposed to one - when using a mouse. The DDX3216 can also receive MTC (MIDI Time Code) - from ardour and control ardours transport via MMC (Midi Machine - Control), making it a very useful go between for any other external - devices that can also receive MTC. On top of that, any other software - synced to JACK will be controlled via the DDX3216 as well! - </para> - - <para> - The setup is quite simple as follows: - </para> - <orderedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - On the DDX3216 select the MMC/MIDI button. Press the Previous/Next - buttons to move to the RX/TX page. Make sure that you have both RX - and TX selected for 'Control Change', and TX selected for 'Machine - Control'. Under the menu 'RX/TX Only', make sure Fader and Pan is - selected. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - To receive MTC do the following. Press the Previous button to get to - the Setup page. Select MTC as your source. Make sure the receive - channel is set to OMNI so it will listen on all channels, and the - MMC device is set to 7F (all). Save a new Preset on the DDX3216, - something like MMC/MTC. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Connect your midi in and out cables to your sound card, and to the - Behringer DDX3216. Start <application>qjackctl</application>, and - then start ardour. In qjackctl go to the connections dialog, and - select the <guilabel>midi</guilabel> tab. Select the Midi output on - the left window and the ardour input on the right window, and press - connect. Select the ardour output on the left window and the midi - input on the right window, and press connect. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - I suggest making a template in ardour so you don't have to do these - following steps each time. Load a new session with your desired - amount of tracks (I used 16). Go to menu <menuchoice> - <guimenu>Windows</guimenu> <guisubmenu>Options Editor</guisubmenu> - </menuchoice> and select the <guilabel>MIDI</guilabel> tab. Select - all the options and make sure the midi port you have connected to in - qjackctl is 'online'. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Open the mixer window - (<keycombo><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>M</keycap></keycombo>) and - then hold down <keycap>Ctrl</keycap> and click the middle button of - your mouse, on the fader control for track 1. A dialog will appear - over the fader asking you to <literal>operate MIDI control - now</literal>. Move the fader on the Behringer that you want to - control track 1 ardour fader - and whalla! I use fader 17 (fader 1 - in page 2) as it isn't used for analog inputs and saves confusion. - Now do the same thing for the panning, ctrl and middle click on the - pan control in ardour, and move the pan pot on the DDX3216. Repeat - the Step for as many tracks as you have. Then save the template as - 'MIDI controlled' or something similar. Next time you create a - session, select this template from the drop down list and you are - ready to cruise. - </para> - - <para> - Remember you can assign the DDX3216 pan pots or even faders if you - want, to the plugin controls, send levels, inserts etc etc. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - You can also operate the ardour transport and have ardour transmit - MTC back to your DDX3216 (it is only capable of receiving timecode, - not transmitting it). Go to the ardour menu - <menuchoice><guimenu>Windows</guimenu><guisubmenu>Option - Editor</guisubmenu></menuchoice> and the <guilabel>Sync</guilabel> - Tab. Set <guimenuitem>Positional Sync</guimenuitem> to Sync with - Jack. Select <guimenuitem>Send MTC</guimenuitem> and - <guimenuitem>Jack time master</guimenuitem>. Set your SMPTE to the - appropriate frame rate for your region (PAL - 25 frames, NTSC 30 - frames/drop frames). On the DDX3216 in the MMC/MIDI screen, select - the <guilabel>Machine Control</guilabel> Tab and you can now press - play and watch ardour begin playback, and the time code start - rolling! Of course if you have hydrogen/rosegarden/muse/whatever - also running, then they will begin with ardour as well. - </para> - </listitem> - </orderedlist> - <note> - <para> - With ardour set to sync with JACK you cannot rewind from the transport - control, because JACK does not support global varispeed. If you are - just working with ardour and nothing else, then you can change the - Sync option to internal. You also will want to enable the -12dB gain - reduction for ff/rew in the <guilabel>Misc</guilabel> tab for sanity - reasons. - </para> - </note> -<!-- - <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" - href="Some_Subsection.xml" /> - --> -</section> |
