This will walk you through the process of configuring and using
|
||
|
|
a MIDI control surface with Ardour that uses the <dfn>Mackie Control
|
||
|
|
protocol</dfn> (MCP) or <dfn>Logic Control protocol</dfn>. Devices that
|
||
|
|
have been tested and are known to work include the SSL Nucleus, Mackie
|
||
|
|
Control Pro (plus extenders), Behringer devices in Mackie/Logic mode,
|
||
|
|
and Steinberg CMC devices.

<h2>Enabling Mackie Control in Ardour</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Navigate to <kbd class="menu">Edit > Preferences > Control Surfaces</kbd>.
|
||
|
|
Double-click on <kbd class="menu">Mackie Control</kbd> to see the setup dialog:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<img src="" alt="Mackie Control Setup Dialog" />
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
From the selector at the top, choose the type of device you are using.
|
||
|
|
(<a
|
||
|
|
href="/using-control-surfaces/devices-using-mackielogic-control-protocol/devices-not-listed/">
|
||
|
|
What to do if your device is not listed</a>).
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Once your setup is complete, click "OK" to close the dialog. Now click
|
||
|
|
on the enable checkbox for "Mackie Control".
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Connecting control surface and Ardour MIDI ports</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you are using a device that uses ipMIDI, such as the SSL Nucleus, no
|
||
|
|
MIDI port connections are required — Ardour and your control
|
||
|
|
surface will be able to talk to each other automatically.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you are using a device that uses normal MIDI (via a standard MIDI or
|
||
|
|
USB cable), you need to connect Ardour's Mackie Control in and out ports
|
||
|
|
to the MIDI ports leading to and coming from the control surface.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
When you have made these connections once, Ardour will recreate them
|
||
|
|
for you in the future, as long as you leave Mackie Control enabled.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Customizing your control surface</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Every possible Mackie Control button can be bound to any action present
|
||
|
|
in Ardour's GUI. Please check your control surface page for suggestions.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Preparing your device for use with Ardour</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Most interfaces will require some configuration to send and respond to
|
||
|
|
MCP.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="note">
|
||
|
|
When setting up the control surface, do <em>not</em> use "Pro Tools"
|
||
|
|
mode. Pro Tools is the only DAW that still requires HUI. The rest of
|
||
|
|
world uses Mackie Control Protocol. Ardour does not support HUI.
