Hi,

I would prefer to record automation with knobs instead of doing it by mouse.
Is there something affordable on the market that will do the job and will be easy to access without 3rd party drivers etc?

I would prefer not to spend over 100£.

Thanks :phones:

Maybe a used Novation Launch Control XL? Or AKAI Midimix. Or KORG nanoKontrol 2.

Thanks, and is there anything with just the knobs? Don't need sliders or the mini mixer built in.

There was the Novation Launch Control (without the "XL"), but, unfortunately, they discontinued it. Maybe you find a used one.

There's also this thing: https://www.thomann.de/de/behringer_x_touch_mini.htm

The Evolution UC-16 is just 16 knobs. It is from the ice age, so will be v cheap second hand, but I've no idea if it is compatible with modern Macs.

I don't know how the knobs on the mk3 are, but, the knobs on the mk2 were ridiculously bad. I had one here, which I sold.

Are you looking for some keys as well though? I thought this was about a controller, not a keyboard.

Well I am still considering options, would be nice to have few keys after all.

Find a secondhand Novation ReMote SL mk1 or mk2 - tons of knobs and sliders and a nice Fatar keybed.
