Hi all Just ordered a behringer rotary controller with led rings at thomann.de for 125 €. that sounds really cheap to me because it has 32 led rings and encoders. :-) so my question is: i want to use it for controlling Virtual instruments in Cubase, and i miss the lcd displays which show the actual parameters like cutofff, decay etc. for each controller. my idea is to build now 4 long lcd displays under the rotarys and connect them to a device where i can handle them...for example you use the minimoog on the computer and you press the button for minimoog on the lcd controller and...the actual parameters for the minimoog are shown at the displays (a bit like the mackie c4) how can i contol the lcd displays?? by conputer over the com port with a certain program? or with a midi self build midi interface? is it better to use small lcds for each rotary or a big line for every eight?? would be great if someone could help :-) CU and Greets André
