I noticed the difference in the shuttle motion. I'll compile the kernel
driver for my other systems too and will try it on them. I've built
Ardour3 on my Ubuntu Intrepid box, hopefully the driver will work its
wonders there too.

Here's a little critical feedback: The In/Out buttons are supposed to
zoom in and out (according to the old PDF of the Tranzport layout for
Ardour) but IIRC they set up punch-in/punch-out; the assignment for Save
doesn't work; the assignment for Unmute All doesn't work.

The shuttle works okay for my purposes, but I haven't really used it
much in Ardour. However, now it works so nicely with the Tranzport, I
think I'll use it more often. The Tranzport opens some new ways of
working for me, I'm looking forward to testing it more thoroughly.

I plan to write a profile about the Tranzport for my column, I'll be
sure to point to your work. Thanks again for your labor on this project. :)

Best,
