david,
such a controller box built to motm type specs would be a bit of work 
although probably no new engineering would be required, stuff like sample 
/hold ( think analog kybd ),etc. are pretty well developed circuitry. if you 
wanted to go with a "hack" job just to get something to "feel" and decide 
about working on further, you are pretty much right, its all just voltages 
and resistances. even something as simple as a few batteries, a couple of 
slide pots, a few knobs and a cheap surplus joystick could be cobbled up 
quickly but could be surprisingly useful. not sophisticated, not elegant but 
it`ll work.......
best,
dave
