      <div dir="auto">Yeah, i have a midi keyboard. But midi is quite a
        good idea. I may take a look at a midi controller with faders.

    Well, any sort of requirements? Price range?<br>
    I remember the Behringer BC...something, they had some with rotary
    encoders, and one with faders, but I believe they were motor faders
    and hence not very many.<br>
    I can't find something like that anymore right now, all I see is
    "DAW controllers" which are geared towards, well, controlling DAWs,
    and not so cheap either (for a Behringer product - probably because
    of motor faders, which are nice... but low in number):<br>
    <br>
    Ok, floating around used. Not faders but rotary encoders:<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ebay.de/itm/Behringer-BCR2000-mit-Zaquencer/283808528500">https://www.ebay.de/itm/Behringer-BCR2000-mit-Zaquencer/283808528500</a><br>
    <br>
    There'd be enough space to put some printed out stickers for
    function names under/above each encoder.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Depending on how much you are attached to your MIDI keyboard (in
    case of swap, e.g. buy one, sell the old), or opposed to just
    getting another one:<br>
    There are a lot of MIDI keyboards with quite a number of faders and
    encoders and / or pots.<br>

    <br>
    Super cheap if it's really only about the knobs, which are probably
    not great, but for experimenting...<br>
    (and the keys... eat space and are probably crap, but... since the
    "lotsa knobs controller box"es I knew aren't a thing anymore
    apparently...)<br>

              <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
              <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Do you have access to any sort

              <p class="MsoNormal"><span>That could be a good intro to
                  following a circuit, soldering, working with Arduino
                  and generally bodging things together to make a noise.</span></p>
              <p class="MsoNormal"><span>In fact I was inspired this
                  week by your original message to add MIDI input to a
                  module I built two years ago, and the code from that
                  instructable sounds quite sweet.</span></p>
              <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
              <p class="MsoNormal"><span>This is a safer MIDI circuit,
