On OS X, Ardour loads midi maps from its binary-bundle folder in
<code>Ardour-&lt;version&gt;/midi_maps/</code> and checks
various other locations as well (defined by the ARDOUR_MIDIMAPS_PATH
environment variable). On GNU/Linux the easiest is to save the file to
<code>~/.config/ardour3/midi_maps/</code>.
The file should be located in the midi_maps sub directory located in
the <a href="@@files-and-directories-ardour-knows-about">Ardour configuration directory</a>

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"
on allows encoders to work as expected.
