Hello,
Rather then killing the touchstrip if i had to do it ..
- i would get a doepfer midi pocket control on ebay ..
or a
http://www.doepfer.de/pe.htm http://www.doepfer.de/pdf/PE_Man.pdf- i would find a joystick case that can guest the dopefer pots
(or get equivalent pots and ohmmic values in different mech shapes)
the manual says that any LINEAR potmeter from 4700 to 100K ohm will do
or get a pro joystick that already has the right ohmmic pots values
built in .. for example
http://uk.farnell.com/productimages/farnell/standard/42256192.jpg 2 by 10K in there
- make some holes on the right part of the an1x
and install the dopefer inside the an1x u can easily find 7/12 volt 100ma
inside the an1x power supply
in fact there is space also below the 2 mod wheels .. u can keep
the joystick there and the other 14 knobs on the top right panel ..
even better ... it is digital domain so u can just use plain simple
flat cables inside to connect the pots/JSticks
- plug AN1X midi out to dopefer midi in and get the dopefer midi out
to control anything u wish , it will also merge an1x midi cc too !
voila' ;-)
i had this in my mind since years ... if i can find the time to ..
just DOIT ! damm time !!!
Regards
