If you run Mobius as a VST plug-in in Ableton Live those things  
should be possible. Each Mobius track comes out into a track in the  
Live mixer, which has a fader that is easily MIDI controllable.  
Because Live is also used by DJs it has that classic DJ mixer  
function where a horizontal fader mixes between the two turntables.  
Live has no turntables but every track can be assigned to either "A"  
or "B" - which corresponds to the two decks in a DJ rigg. So, there  
are ;-)
