Recommend me a very cheap simple control surface?

[Kvebbs]

Hi,

I'm quite happy without a control surface except for one circumstance; at times, I want to "play" my plugins - e.g. twiddle a knob for some delay parameter and whatnot. A few very simple knobs would do, so I don't want to spend much ... any recommendations?

something like a Maschine mk2 controller would give you alot of functionality
8 endless encoders
8 banks of 16 programmable coloured Pads
30 buttons (Led on/off)
and an endless amount of templates... which are easily configureable
screen giving values names feedback etc

the maschine mk2 is under rated as a controller... especially given that it can double as a midi-instrument, add to this the Maschine software, if sold with the unit is a top notch VSTi

you could settle for something that only controls volumes/sends/pans etc etc and works as just a mixing controller... but in my view that is limiting
choice is up to you
