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.
