<h2>Devices using ipMIDI</h2>
<p>
If you are using a device like the SSL Nucleus that uses ipMIDI,
no set up is required other than to ensure that your control surface
and computer are both connected to the same network.

<h2>Devices using conventional MIDI</h2>
<p>
Before attempting to use a Mackie Control device that communicates via
a standard MIDI cable or a USB cable, you should ensure that

<p>
Since Mackie and Logic made the first Logic Control Surface, Mackie
and other surface manufactures have been making control surfaces that
use the same protocol to communicate with a DAW. Ardour supports the
<abbr title="Mackie Control Protocol"><dfn>MCP</dfn></abbr> and will
work with all these control surfaces.

<h2>Devices using ipMIDI</h2>

If you are using a device that uses ipMIDI, such as the SSL Nucleus, no
MIDI port connections are required &mdash; Ardour and your control
surface will be able to talk to each other automatically so long as
your control surface and computer are both connected to the same network.

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.

When setting up the control surface, do <em>not</em> use "Pro Tools"
