I do have a question though about ardour control by midi. The Mackie IF

says it sends control messages that are in the
form num of ticks up or
down. This means I should be able to have a key send ticks up and another
ticks down, but this doesn't seem to work.
It does work... but only into the the mackie midi in. It only seems to
expect 0 to 100 ticks which is probably not enough for a fader anyway. This
is probably due to physical limitations in the encoders, getting more than
96 or so ticks per full turn starts to get expensive real quick (10 to 1 or
so... which answers the why use motor faders question). Changing controls
on the gui while monitoring the midi out was very informative.
