Subject: Re: Interseting controller/digital synth

I stumbled across this some time ago. I was searching to see if anyone was making a
controller analog or midi like the buchla touchplate controllers. I will probably never be
able to throw down that much for a continuum.

What I am after is some alternate means of controlling my growing MOTM, I play guitar
mainly and have very little experience with keyboards in the formal sense. Right now I
don't a midi/cv so I am just tweaking knobs and recording to pro tools.

If anyone can point me to a DIY touchplate controller like Buchla's or of someone who
makes such a thing that would be great.

p.s. Knob tweaking is an excelent interface!
