the MIDI tracks faders situation *is* entirely different from audio tracks faders.
MIDI track faders do *not* affect any audio signal stream, at least directly whatsoever, so no matter on here if it's pre or post-fader. It might seem post-fader, just because their control effect is nothing but a causal effect.
MIDI track faders are in fact MIDI channel volume/panning dedicated controllers as they actually send MIDI CC#7 and CC#10, respectively, out to the designated MIDI output bus *and* through the tracks MIDI instrument plugin chain. The latter fact might seem that it's post-fader or as you say reversed when compared to the audio track types. But again, it's not an audio signal we're transmitting there, it's MIDI channel control data that is being conveyed and may cause a possible reaction, thus a post-like effect, on some MIDI instrument, not necessarily affecting that precise plugin's audio output volume (cc#7) nor panning (cc#10) which are conventional (standard GM) and implementations may vary;)
