Plug the USB cable from the shuttle into a USB2 or USB3 port on your
|
|
|
|
computer. The device will be automatically recognized by your operating
|
|
|
|
system and will appear in any of the lists of possible MIDI ports in Ardour.

Normally, Ardour should be able to automatically detect a connected Contour
|
|
|
|
Design Shuttle device and enable it. If it fails, connect the shuttle to
|
|
|
|
Ardour, open the <kbd class="window">Preferences</kbd> dialog, then click
|
|
|
|
<kbd>Control Surfaces</kbd>. Tick the <kbd class="option">Enable</kbd>
|
|
|
|
checkbox opposite to "Contour Design" to activate Ardour's Contour Design
|
|
|
|
shuttles support.
