Hi Paul,
Reading your email more carefully, I think we're taking about different
things.

 With these new control surfaces, it's posible to touch a hardware slider,
but not actually move it.  This indicates to your music software that you
wish to overwrite any pre-recorded automation with new movements.
   i.e it's important to know when the user touched and released the slider
(in addition to recording any actual movements).  kind of an automated
punch-in/punch-out.

Best Regards,
Jeff
