That article Asmo mentioned above is great, the mapping of midi to
ardour controls is not exactly intuitive/discoverable
(control-middleclick?), but it is simple once you know the keypress.

By the way, off topic for this thread, but definitely applicable to
Linux audio: is there a good primer to the ardour UI? I use ardour
extensively, but the interface is non-discoverable, there are great
things it can do which require non-intuitive keypresses and
mouseclicks (I started reading ardour.keys and just reading the xml
for keybindings to try using/assigning for example). Also, if someone
was interested in working on the discoverability of ardour, this could
save much headache and work for many of us. To reiterate, I am
certainly no newbie to Linux audio or even ardour in particular, but I
am still figuring out things I should have been doing for years now.
