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.
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.
