[sdiy] Motorized Faders for MIDIBOX 64

[Alex]

I own an O1V and it's great, but it's only 16 instantly accessible sliders
and it's too big to haul around especially for doing things live. The
problem being that when you change programs via MIDI the MIDI controller
either encoder or potentiometer does not reset to it's actual value. The
program value may change, but the actual hands on position of the knob is
different. For example: cutoff might be 50 and the slider is at 10, the
slightest movement of the slider will change the filter to 11 or 12. The
goal here is if I can make it so that the slider moves back to the original
position of the preset.
