What do the MIDI controller surfaces do, with Ardour? Do I need to climb and take the MIDI controller keyboard out of my other room and carry it over here, before I can know whether the potential ever existed, to do what I wanted to do?Īrdour is not a MIDI sequencer and does not (intentionally) generate sounds at all. One possible answer which I could try to guess at, could be, ‘When you send your MIDI controller’s note sequence to the MIDI remote control channel of an Ardour wave track, Ardour will pitch-bend the sound of the sample on that track, so that playing middle C will preserve the original pitch of the sound.’īut this type of an answer would be sheer guesswork on my part, I don’t answer people with guesses, and it’s exactly this sort of answer which IT managers hate, and which would need to go on your Web site.

What does it do?”Īnd I’ve honestly had to tell them “I have no idea!” I’ve had musicians ask me, “Dirk, you have Ardour. The fact that it has no sequencer prevents it from being a DAW. According to what the Web site describes, Ardour is just a multitracker. The Web site declares that it’s a DAW, but a DAW needs to have some functions which Ardour doesn’t have (according to the same Web site). I don’t mean for this to be short in any way, but even though I have Ardour 2 compiled and installed, I still don’t know what it does. We need to define what our programs do, so that other people than our managers will know whether they need the software or not. But to the contrary, I feel that this is one aspect of Ardour, which could be corrected. Send us feedback.It’s possible that businesspeople have badgered programmers for too long, never to define what a program does in the programmer’ terms.
