Re: [LAU] another control surface question

You would use belts to get "endless" faders, to avoid motorized restore? I guess people who like it tactile, prefer to feel the position of a fader knob and btw. we likely want that it appeals to all senses, IOW we also want to see the fader knob positions. Regarding to wheels also keep in mind, that faders could be very long but for an "endless" wheel you perhaps can't do the whole fade by keeping the finger on the wheel, you perhaps need to set back the finger to continue turning the wheel. Btw. for faders knobs you could use fader bridges, if you want to use group of faders ganged. JFTR you could optimize such a mixer to your needs, that is the advantage of DIY, but DIY likely is more expensive and a lot could go wrong. OTOH if restoring the position shouldn't be needed, replacing the short faders of a nanoKONTROL with long faders might be possible and would cost less. I wonder if longer faders would be useful for the 128 MIDI steps.
