@TK. This is very helpful to visualize what would be required! Thanks so much. I have to wrap up a couple other projects before tackling this one but I am fairly sure that this will be the way to go for my uses. Even if I didn't use the MIDIbox platform for this I can now see that it would be simple enough for me to understand for other projects.

@lemonhorse, @TK. Thanks for the welcome! I've heard good things about the MIDIbox and the MB community from some of the folks at the Mutable Instruments forum, and thanks for responding so quickly. Something along the lines of are what I originally had in mind, though more compact. I understand the merits of encoders for many reasons, but I do have a preference for faders for envelopes. In researching on this forum I've come across the prior group buys for LED ringed encoder PCBs and that would definitely lean me more in favor of encoders but I presume also adds some complexity. Anyway, since I'm new to MIDIbox, I would be perfectly happy to have a controller which is functionally a PG-300 clone with some UI tweaks. Faders for EG and some other controls like the original, pots for others, and single buttons to scroll through discrete settings such as waveform shape, sub osc level, chorus on/off, respectively...If I could also work in CC to SysEx translation to be able to sequence certain settings or control them with other controllers, that'd be great, but isn't critical. By my count, it would be 24 pots or encoders and 12 'select' buttons which would scroll through 2-6 options, depending on the parameter. If it makes more sense to split this topic off if it becomes a separate conversation from lemonhorse's JuCtrl, I totally understand! If the MIOS platform is easier to learn, since I don't have much programming experience, that would be enough of a benefit for me that I'd likely opt for it, though practically speaking I'm trying to accomplish a similar goal to JuCtrl. In my case, though, if I had to choose I want compact-ness as much as anything and don't necessarily need patch saving or LCD display as part of the controller if it will save me space and complexity. Thanks again!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, but I am interested in building something very similar to the Ju Control for an Alpha Juno 2 which I have on the way. My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to build a controller similar to this but I have a preference for faders and pots instead of the encoders used on the JuCtrl. I understand this is a somewhat naive question, but would it be much trouble to modify the existing JuCtrl code to use analog inputs rather than the ones currently using rotary encoder inputs? I am pretty confident in working with DIY hardware but the software end of things is new to me. I would also be making a much more compact control surface and probably design a front panel for my design via FPD or for laser cutting. Any tips are appreciated, and I'm happy to finally have a specific project to perhaps use MIDIbox for after lurking the forums over the past few years. :santa:
