Give me total CONTROL! or.....

Surface Tension

I'm looking for creative alternatives to dedicated control surfaces. I've looked into:

• The Kenton Control Freak
• Tascam US-428
• Motor Mix
• JL Cooper Fader Master
• Niche Automation Station

and other input devices specifically designed for the job of mixing on computer software.

What I would like to know is has anyone had any success using hardware that wasn't specifically meant for the purpose? I understand that as long as a midi device can send sysex information, you should be able to use it to control audio software.

Anyone have experience with such things?

the 01v can control alot as well as serve as a mixer!

I was thinking more about products like the Kawai MM-16 or a Lexicon MRC.

The idea is controlling software with a

CHEAP


alternative.

Thanks

Isn't the motormix a grand? 01v is a little over a grand on ebay!
