In my limited experience I've found that the ease of mapping MIDI controller knobs to their software equivalents varies from application to application. In Ardour, for example, one middle clicks on a screen control, say, a mixer fader and a prompt appears telling you to move the desired hardware knob. This seems to work quite well. In something like ingen or AlsaModular Synth, you have to add a module that allows reception of MIDI controller input. In AMS, there's a quad MIDI-CV module that allows you to assign four MIDI CC controllers.<br>

I recently got access (on loan) to a Edirol PCR-300 USB midi keyboard.<br>
When I plug it into the computer it shows up under QJackCtl and is<br>
quite usable as a midi keyboard for the Synths that I use (ZynAddSubFX<br>
and AmSynth). The question that I have is that the keyboard has a<br>
full compliment of sliders, pads and rotary knobs which I don't know<br>
how to use for anything. Is there documentation on how to set these<br>
up to control parameters on software such as<br>
Ardour/Rosegarden/LMMS/Ingen? If so where would i find it? Do these<br>
controls go to midi channels and can they be assigned to OSC controls?<br>
<br>
Sorry for my ignorance, I just didn't know where to start.<br>
Thanks<br>
Matt<br>
