Phantom fader for external midi controllers

This is to help with the common problem of having a non-motorized hardware midi controller, trying to control the software faders and knobs of various tracks. Often times, the hardware faders will be at different positions than the software faders, and moving them causes a jump in parameters and losing the original positions. this FR: If the hardware fader does not correspond to the software fader position 1) Represent the hw fader with a 'phantom' (semi-transparent) fader, which does not affect the sound, it only shows the hw position once the control is moved. (This will appear overlayed on the same strip as the actual fader.) 2) The hw fader is moved up and down (and so is the phantom fader). Once the phantom controller passes over the actual position of the software fader, then it takes over and you can actually control the track. No sudden parameter jumps. No remembering positions. Non-motorized midi controllers become a lot more useful for mixing.

Are you aware that we have soft-takeover for non-motorized faders already, avoiding parameter jumps ? (Just asking, in case you may have missed it.)

thanks nofish, I didn't know that. I will look into it. Do we currently have the ability to see an indication of the hardware fader position? (like the phantom fader idea proposed in the first post)
