In my limited experience I've found that the ease of mapping MIDI controller
knobs to their software equivalents varies from application to application.
In Ardour, for example, one middle clicks on a screen control, say, a mixer
fader and a prompt appears telling you to move the desired hardware knob.
This seems to work quite well. In something like ingen or AlsaModular Synth,
you have to add a module that allows reception of MIDI controller input. In
AMS, there's a quad MIDI-CV module that allows you to assign four MIDI CC
controllers.
Hope this helps....
cheers,
