I just went through this with my AkaiMPK 25 and Paul helped me with this 
link: 
http://www.manual.ardour.org/setting-up-your-system/setting-up-midi/midi-on-linux/ 
 
Big thing was enabling a2jmidid within QJackCTL. 
 
Simply adding a2jmidid -e to the startup didn't work for me - someone on 
IRC helped me with a script. 
 
startup.sh 
# force a2jmidid to sleep a bit before qjackctl tries 
# to start it the trailing & forces a2jmidid into 
# the background so a console window isn't open 
# sleep 3s && a2jmidid -e & 
 
Then in my QJackCTL - execute script after startup I have 
'/home/jim/Audio/scripts/startup.sh' 
And in On Shutdown I have 'killall a2jmidid' 
 
Once I did that I was able to map sliders/knobs to Ardour controls. 
 
And I think there is a map available for the Axiom already: 
https://community.ardour.org/ardour_midi_binding_maps 
 
Good luck! It's pretty nice once you get it working! 
Jim
