[ardour-users] midi controller problems

[derek holzer]

OK, I worked it out. It's an old problem which I forgot about: Pure Data 
hogs the raw MIDI input. So no Ardour + PD with MIDI.

There isn't a way to get Ardour to use the Virtual Raw MIDI channels? I 
can't get it to respond at all to these.
