Start up ardour. Go to Options/Control Surfaces. You should see
"Mackie" as one of the menu items. Turn it on. The faders on the
surface should jump to the correct positions. The mackie should work
as normal, except that any buttons not on the BCF won't work.
If you have a Mackie MCU make sure that you have the following under
the &lt;Config&gt; tag:

&lt;Option name="mackie-emulation" value="mcu"/&gt;

In this mode, the original mappings are used. Note that many of the
buttons have not yet been implemented.
