Control surfaces > Generic MIDI > Smoothing

This is kind of like soft takeover except can be a value from 10 to 127. It is 10 by default meaning that fast motions on a midi controller will cause the controller and ardour to become out of sync. Set to 127 to be able to do fast motions

• Pipe the clock source into Ardour’s MIDI Control In port
• Configuration in Preference > Transport
• Click on Int. button (enable/disable external position sync) on the left in tool bar. This will allow the midi clock to lead Ardour. In order to begin play, a midi play signal will need to be sent. On the RedSound Voyager, this is the FUN/PAUSE button

CTRL Middle Click on the paramter. You should see a message that says “operate midi controller now” or something.
