Thank you,

this answers my question and is exactly what I suspected.

At the moment it's just

Linux PC Ardour MIDI tracks -> RME HDSPe AIO MIDI out -> Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 MIDI in -> iPad Sample Tank

but DX7, Matrix-1000 and other should be used, too. IOW the faders
only deal with MIDI streams.

For a mixer that's very unusual since velocity not simply affects the
volume. So CC 7 and CC 10 are only available by the editor window? It's
not possible to get this for the mixer window?

FWIW CC 10 fader values >= 63 are displayed, but < 63 the values aren't
displayed. Is this a known bug for ardour 5.8?

Is there a setting to ensure that loop play for MIDI tracks works
unbroken? At the moment the cycle isn't played smooth.

Regards,
Ralf
