Keep in mind that the HAWK mod has a joystick parameter control option that lets you use the X and Y axis to select parameters and set their values.

But, I would be interested in assisting with putting an encode or two or more into operation.

Can you point me at the mechanical encoder you might be considering using?

Mike

Hi Gordon, thanks for the reply.

Surely there is a way to slip in a rotary encoder to mimic a up\down value keys..

I was thinking of using this decoder by elmelectronics.com

http://elmelectronics.com/DSheets/ELM402DS.pdf

couldnt the outputs be placed in parallel with the value switches?

It can be set to generate 2.0msec pulses on two channels
