[sdiy] Motorized Faders for MIDIBOX 64

[david leigh]

The idea here is so if your sequencing with say logic, or cubase, or can do 
a controller dump from some synth, then you can recall the last mix or 
whatever. So the faders will all jump back to their positions. Much like the 
yamaha 01v/03d/02r when you recall a mix.. Pure laziness!!!
