of course you can use qmidictl to control qtractor, ardour or whatever 
midi controlled program you might think of.

by default most controls are plain mmc which qtractor and ardour does 
respond if configured properly. all qmidictl widgets (buttons, sliders 
or knobs) are configurable to transmit/recognize any other midi channel 
event type, besides mmc (cf. Configure...)

if not obvious already, you'll need a gateway device on the same machine 
you run the daw. yours trully qmidinet is a good choice ; it does 
alsa-midi and/or jack-midi, so that you can connect the provided in/out 
ports to and from the designated control ports of qtractor, ardour, w/e.
