Summary | 0004579: Connection manager won't connect MIDI track outputs to hardware MIDI outputs | ||||
Description | Connection manager should be able to connect the output from a MIDI track to the physical output of my sound card (or A2Jmidi) but this is not allowed; those connections have to be made from the mixer or project window, which takes forever if you've got a lot to make. | ||||
Additional Information | Please see the attached the screenshot. The bottom-right hand section of the connection matrix should not be grayed out. | ||||

That is the audio connection manager; it is not intended to allow connection of MIDI ports. Does the MIDI connection manager work? Since MIDI ports started getting a representation in audio port matrices it is debateable whether this is a silly restriction ... |
|
The MIDI connection manager does work, AFAICT. I'd rather have everything in one window, though; keeping it open and in the background on a 1920x1200 screen, and referring to it for making connections is way easier than anything else, and having one for MIDI and one for audio seems silly to me; just "grey out" the options that aren't possible and call it a day. |
|
I personally prefer it the way it is now.. I have over 20 MIDI ports ... so it is too confusing if it is on the one page.. |
|
What about just separating the 'Ardour Tracks' tab into 'Ardour Audio Tracks' & 'Ardour MIDI Tracks' tabs? |
|
Colinf's suggestion makes more sense and would be preferable to me, rather than having whole separate windows for audio and MIDI connections. |
|
Ah, having thought about it a bit more, I'm not sure my idea makes any more sense than having separate audio & MIDI connection managers. Since audio sources can only ever be connected to audio destinations, and MIDI sources to MIDI destinations likewise, selecting a MIDI tab for a source and an audio tab for a destination will only ever show completely greyed-out connection possibilities. In other words, I don't think there's any point in trying to unify the audio & MIDI connection managers by displaying MIDI and audio together in the same grid. Perhaps the audio & MIDI connection managers could be combined into one window, with some means to switch the view between audio & MIDI, though. |

"not fixable" because nobody really knows what to do (for now). maybe its not a bug at all. maybe it needs a completely new idea. |
