At this time, new binding maps need to be created with a text editor.
<p>
<p>
There are two basic kinds of bindings you can make between a MIDI message
and something inside Ardour. The first is a binding to a specific parameter
- of a track or bus. The second is a binding to a function that will change
- Ardour's state in some way.

- As of Ardour 4.2, <code>enc-r</code>, <code>enc-l</code>, <code>enc-2</code> and
- <code>enc-b</code> may be used for surfaces that have encoders that send
- offsets rather than values. These accept Continuous Controller messages
- but treat them as offsets. These are good for banked controls as they are
- always at the right spot to start adjusting. (

- The <code>enc-*</code> value is the CC number used by the encoder.
- Encoders only work with CC messages.

Ardour 5.12 has a bug with the encoder detection where the first
encoder message resets the control to 0. Setting "Enable Feedback"

- Rather than binding to a specific track/bus control, it may be useful to
