[Rosegarden-user] Controlling play/stop/rewind from external DAW (Ardour)

[stefano franchi]

I'm new to Rosegarden and I wonder how to control transport operations from
an external DAW, in my case Ardour 6.
The manual says it's possible, but I'm failing to find the correct
connections, it seems. Can anyone help?

What I tried:
1. Create an Ardour test session with a midi track
2. In Rosegarden's Midi Sync preferences, selected "accept Start, Stop, and
Continue", and set to "slave" as MIDI MMC and MIDI TCM
2. in Jack2 (actually, Cadence's Catia GUI for jack2) connect the midi
track input port to Rosegarden's "out 1 - General MIDI Device" port
3.in Jack2, connected Ardour's midi track out to Rosegarden's "External
Controller" in port
4. Armed Ardour and started recording.

I was expecting Rosegarden to start playing as soon as Ardour started
recording. Did not happen.
The Midi in connection in Ardour works---if I start Rosegarden manually, I
can both hear and record its output in Ardour. But I can't control it from
Ardour.

What am I missing?

  Both set to slave seems reasonable.  I've not done any of this 
before, though.

track input port to Rosegarden's "out 1 - General MIDI Device" port


  So Ardour is recording rg's output?  Should be ok if that's what you 
want to do.

Rosegarden's "External Controller" in port


  This might be the problem.  I'm pretty sure rg doesn't respond to MMC 
and MTC via the "External Controller" port.  From digging through the 
code (see testForMMCSysex()), it looks like rg responds to MMC and MTC 
via the "record in" port.  Try connecting to that.


  Hopefully someone else with more experience with this can chime in 
and confirm.


Ted.
