Hi Luis

Thanks for the info. I'd never come across the controllers editor! Could you
point me in the direction of parameter automation in Ardour at all?
I had tried to use Ardour but the dark black theme that it has keeps making
me think I'm working in a coal mine. I'll give it a go all the same, and
will delight when they release the GTK GUI updates to the system.

Many thanks again
Rich

Hi Luis 
 
Thanks for the info. I'd never come across the controllers editor!
Could you point me in the direction of parameter automation in Ardour
at all? 
I had tried to use Ardour but the dark black theme that it has keeps
making me think I'm working in a coal mine. I'll give it a go all the
same, and will delight when they release the GTK GUI updates to the
system. 
 
Many thanks again

 &gt; It seems that what you need is parameter automation. The only app I know of that supports it is ardour, but ardour does not support MIDI (yet.) In MuSE or Rosegarden you can indeed automate MIDI *controllers* (
i.e. pan, pitch bend, channel volume...) Read the fine manual: <a href="http://www.muse-sequencer.org/wiki/index.php/Window_Reference_Guide#The_Pianoroll_Editor">http://www.muse-sequencer.org/wiki/index.php/Window_Reference_Guide#The_Pianoroll_Editor
