In case there's anybody else reading this list who is as confused as I was:
The Matrix Spatialiser plugin (and others I'm sure, too) has no obvious way
to control its value through the gui when used in Ardour or Mixbus.  There
is just a text label that says "Width" with a number next to it and no
obvious way to manipulate the number.  At first I took the roundabout way
and used automation to alter the value.  Then I had my genius moment of the
day and realized that right or left clicking on the number would increment
the value (use a control or shift modifier for bigger increments).  For some
reason this plugin won't store presets but that's not a huge concern for me
since there is only one value to change.

I hope this helps make somebody's day easier.
