Midi knob box?

Looking for a compact midi knob box.
Similar to novation launch control (no need for buttons)
Similar to midi knob fighter (a bit over priced imo)
Suggestions?

Well the midi fighters are awesome. Worth the cash. I got the button version, always makes me wanna join a street fighter 2 competition with it 🙂
Do you have both an iPad and an iPhone? You could try using knob lab from your phone with a usb midi cable or bluetooth to your iPad. You could also use it with Wifi or on the same device even. I think it's a brilliant piece of kit:

This is what I’ll indubitably utilise my Novation Circuit for, ultimately, I suspect.
Phat boys are awesome!! I always wanted one (back in the day when they were made).
PC4 - Pot controller 167 Euro (excl. VAT)
The device has 24 standard pots with rubber knobs designed in a 4 x 6 matrix. Various kinds of midi commands like control change, pitchbend and program change are possible.
Of course you can assign the pots to any of these commands by learning incoming midi commands like software it does. The pots work with standard resolution of 7 bit to have full compatibility to any software and hardware instruments, effects and DAW’s. Use the internal 16 setups to save your individual settings. Backup and restore of all settings by sysex dumps is possible too.
The factory settings are perfect to control music and video software products out of the box if they are freely assignable. So any additional device programming isn’t necessary for many applications.
A special feature is the switchable snap function for all pots. This simple function is very rare on standard midi controllers with pots. It avoids possible annoying value jumps.
Three switchable midi routings makes the unit much more flexible for complex midi setups.
Simultaneous control of external gear and software instruments is no problem for the PC4 due to the available USB and MIDI ports.
For the size/price (used at least), I bet you can come up with a use for the buttons. A little larger, even more buttons you prolly don't need but a little more full featured would be a used beatstep (non-pro).
knobby
😆😆that was 3 controllers, 2 hardware synths, and a few other pieces of gear ago.
😱
Beatstep is pretty good. It has knobs and buttons.
An old M-audio Uc-16 with a makeover and stand , works a treat
Quite the hobbyest aren't you
Ya made me troll through ebay for one.
Wow very Nice👌🏼! Had a uc33 a ways back when using mac n ableton. Luv’d it
The uc33e is actually class compliant. When I first got the mini 4 a few years ago, I tried plugging in all my MIDI controllers and that one surprisingly worked. Bulky as heck though. I'm using twin Launch Control XLs. That Faderfox looks pretty nice. It would fit nicely on my desk. A bit expensive though.
I like your style 🤠
Cheers man,
Yea sometimes we forget just how good older gear is . Dig them out and spruce them up
And you have something unique. 👊🏼
Yea the 16 just worked straight away , class compliant I guess ⚡️
