Ardour 2.4.1: control surface and rewind key

Hello !

  I'm using Ardour 2.4.1 on Fedroa 8 x86_64.  I assign control knobs
from a M-Audio Axiom 25 for mixer levels, start/stop play, record but,
the rewind and forward keys do not work.  They send on chan. 127, 23 and
24 respectively.  Play is 26, stop is 25.  Is there something special
to make rewind and forward work or is (was) this a bug ?

Thanks.

ardour does not have forward and rewind buttons. it does have forward
and rewind key bindings. there is therefore currently nothing to
"bind" your controller buttons too, since MIDI (unlike OSC) cannot
access arbitrary actions within Ardour.  we sort of expect MIDI
control surfaces that feature transport control to use MMC (MIDI
Machine Control) which was was specifically designed for this purpose.

OK.  This is a bit 'esoteric' so to speak since I always use with the
mouse the rewind and forward (my names - I call them like that) ardour
buttons at the top left, in the same row as play, record, etc...  So
since I assign the other buttons in the same row to the Axiom keyboard
buttons I figured these two would also be assigned in the very same way.

I'll see what the Axiom user manual has to say about MMC.

Thanks.
