Editing MIDI events is an issue for all Linux MIDI sequencers, but last time I used Ardour3 it was more painful than for Qtractor. - move, transform, edit CC and other events Something missing for all Linux sequencers I know are - move MIDI events by ticks - negative offset delay by ticks or ms - BPM sync to e.g. audio delays - real time sys ex editors for synth like the Matrix-1000 - lock tracks for polyrhythm, not only for exotic music, but to keep sound FX for film in sync, while the BPM of the music are changing - SMPTE, MTC (for good reasons an issue, SMPTE due to resampling, MTC due to a lack of the MIDI specifications) - running status off ;p - [...] I experienced that for Qtractor sometimes are workarounds possible, while for Ardour3 there's too much missing. What I didn't test with Ardour are serious issue I get with Qtractor. MIDI tracks for external (hw) MIDI gets out of sync with internal MIDI tracks and audio tracks when loop playing. MIDI volume CC vs the settings of Yoshimi. [...] What sequencer to use depends to the needs and workflow. Some might say an arpeggiator, CC filters etc. should be part of a sequencers, others don't want it.
