+<h3>Per-track Controls</h3>
+<p>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>Mute</dt>
+ <dd>
+ This toggles the mute setting of the currently controlled
+ track/bus. The button will be lit if the track/bus is muted.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Solo</dt>
+ <dd>
+ This toggles the solo (or listen) setting of the currently
+ controlled track/bus. The button will be lit if the track/bus is
+ soloed (or set to listen mode).
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Rec</dt>
+ <dd>
+ This toggles the record-enabled setting of the currently
+ controlled track/bus. The button will be lit if the track is
+ record-enabled. This button will do nothing if the Faderport is
+ controlling a bus.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Fader</dt>
+ <dd>
+ The fader controls the gain applied to the currently controlled
+ track/bus. If the Faderport is powered, changing the gain in
+ Ardour's GUI or via another control surface, or via automation,
+ will result in the fader moving under its own control.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Knob/Dial/Encoder</dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p>
+ The knob controls 1 or 2 pan settings for the current
+ controlled track/bus. When used alone, turning the knob controls
+ the "azimuth" or "direction" (between left and right) for the
+ panner in the track/bus (if any). This is all you need when
+ controlling tracks/busses with 1 input and 2 outputs.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If controlling a 2 input/2 output track/bus, Ardour's panner
+ has two controls: azimuth (direction) and width. The width
+ must be reduced to less than 100% before the azimuth can be
+ changed. Pressing the "Shift" button while turning the knob
+ will alter the width setting.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The knob can also be turned while the "User" button is held,
+ in order to modify the input gain for the currently controlled
+ track.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Read</dt>
+ <dd>
+ Enables playback/use of fader automation data by the controlled track/bus.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Write</dt>
+ <dd>
+ Puts the fader for the controlled track/bus into automation
+ write mode. While the transport is rolling, all fader changes
+ will be recorded to the fader automation lane for the relevant track/bus.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Touch</dt>
+ <dd>
+ Puts the fader for the controlled track/bus into automation
+ touch mode. While the transport is rolling, touching the fader
+ will initiate recording all fader changes until the fader is
+ released. When the fader is not being touched, existing
+ automation data will be played/used to control the gain level.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Off</dt>
+ <dd>
+ This disables all automation modes for the currently controlled
+ track/bus. Existing automation data will be left unmodified by
+ any fader changes, and will not be used for controlling gain.
+ </dd>
+ </dl>
+</p>
+
+<h3>Track Selection Controls</h3>
+<p>
+ You can manually change the track/bus controlled by the Faderport by
+ changing the selected track in Ardour's editor window. If you select
+ more than 1 track, the Faderport will control the first selected
+ track and <em>only</em> that track/bus.
+</p>
+<p>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>Left (arrow)</dt>
+ <dd>
+ This causes the Ardour GUI to select the previous track/bus
+ (using the current visual order in the editor window), which
+ will in turn cause the Faderport to control that track. If there
+ is no previous track/bus, the selected track/bus is left
+ unchanged, and the Faderport continues to control it.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Right (arrow)</dt>
+ <dd>
+ This causes the Ardour GUI to select the next track/bus
+ (using the current visual order in the editor window), which
+ will in turn cause the Faderport to control that track. If there
+ is no next track/bus, the selected track/bus is left
+ unchanged, and the Faderport continues to control it.
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Output</dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p>
+ Pressing the Output button causes the Faderport to control
+ the fader, pan, mute and solo settings of the Master bus. If
+ your session does not contain a Master bus, it does nothing.
+ This is a toggle button - pressing it again returns Faderport
+ to controlling whichever track/bus was selected before the
+ first press of the Output button.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If your session uses Ardour's monitor section, you can use
+ Shift-Output to assign it to the Faderport in the same way
+ that Output assigns the Master bus. This is also a toggle
+ setting, so the second Shift-Output will return the Faderport
+ to controlling whichever track/bus was selected before.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you press Shift-Output after a single press to Output
+ (i.e. control the Monitor Section while currently controlling
+ the Master bus) or vice versa (i.e. control the Master bus
+ while currently controlling the Monitor Section), the press
+ will be ignored. This avoids getting into a tricky situation
+ where it is no longer apparent what is being controlled and
+ what will happen if you try to change it.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+ <dt>Bank</dt>
