[Ardour-Users] MIDI with Ardour, advice please

[Andrew Fudge]

In summary, I'm looking for advice on how to create MIDI music from a set of
samples, ideally using Ardour.  I will record the samples (African
balaphon).  Then I need to load them into something.  Then connect it to
Ardour and compose in MIDI.
 
My setup is simple - I'm fairly newbie in all this.  Ardour under Ubuntu
Studio using Alsa rather than Jack.  Core I7 processor / desktop.  Focusrite
2i4 (older version).  When a note occurs, I don't want it to chop off the
tail of any other notes already in progress.  If the samples are played by
software/Ardour, that's fine.  If it's better to have dedicated hardware
playing them, I don't want anything too expensive, something costing the
order of a 2i4 would be ok.
 
So I'm expecting to do lots of googling / familiarisation, but hoping
someone experienced can give me some pointers / roadmap to get me going.
Thanks.
