>>> thought I'd share this idea with you all as well >>
When the soft take-over happens with the pitch sliders, (After the "synch" button has been used, for example) , why don't you have a graphic appear as a ghost outline of where the pitch control was, prior to hitting the synch button. That way, you'll know how far off your controller is, from the software's pitch position, and then the DJ can nudge the physical control to _meet_ the screen's control, (maybe have a cross-hair appear on the button as you get close to the matching position)without overshooting it and causing an audible pitch change. At which point, the software will give back control to the controller (as it does now)
The same could apply to any other control that becomes soft taken-over, to serve as a way to tell the DJ how far off the physical position of the slider is, from what the software is currently set to.

I would also like to have a variable that is true if the midi controllers last known position is different to the software position, we could use that on a led so we know if the pitch fader is controlling the software when we use it, or if we need to look back at the screen to match the hardware position first.

I have the feeling that its possible Andrew. Take a look at the default DDJ SX mapper. (some -/+ Leds in the pitch slider)

Just use "pitch_sider" on a led. It will turn on the led when the pitch slider is in "sync" with the software and off when it's not...
You can also change that to something like:
pitch_slider ? on : blink
or
pitch_slider ? off : on
or
pitch_slider ? off : blink
