Hello James,

JACK Rack is MIDI controllable, just add a plug-in and right-click on 
the sliders. As for foot controllers, I use a Roland FC50 myself and 
it's a matter of plugging it into the MIDI in of my sound card and 
making the necessary connections in QjackCtl (well, not quite, the FC50 
only outputs Program Changes so I have mididings in between to convert 
the PC messages to CC messages).

Best,

Jeremy
