[Lmuse-user] Control freak connections between internal MIDI controller and wave audio control

[<par...@so...>]

Hello! 

I've watched MusE automation grow up to be really nice.  I use an external 
KORG Nanokontrol to control the mixer and effects.  I can also easily send 
out MIDI control messages to my outboard equipment.  After reading a thread 
in the developers mailing list from Tim I got the impression that I could 
somehow route MIDI control directly to an audio control. 

This seemed really great so I tried it but without luck.  Basically I picked 
a Virtual MIDI port and routed MIDI to it and setup the audio control to 
read from the same port.  It appears (using -m -M) options that messages 
sent out don't come back in.  This makes sense that normally an app doesn't 
want half duplex behavior on a port.  So then I had the great idea to sent 
to one virtual port and aconnect to another as an input.  Still no control.  
I guess there is a way to internally route MIDI control directly back into 
an wave audio control but I don't know how.  This would be a very powerful 
and creative tool for someone to synchronize the audio and effect on a wave 
track by a MIDI track! 

Is there something I can do internally to enable this short of physically 
wiring my hardware MIDI out back to MIDI in? 

P.S.  The fix to the checkbox visibility (I run fluxbox) and addition of 
ability to clear a single track's automation data is greatly appreciated.
