Ive read it and there is no led rings, let say, tutorial. Am I skipping some text on this forum or no one right something similar for rookies. A lots of people need that tutorial about led rings, 360 encoders...

Yes but I have here 30 presets and midi IN and OUT for connecting another devices, and I dont have to build whole BOX. I dont know to program midibox(probably pots and faders will be easy), but how to make led rings for incremental encoders, and 360 degree encoders for jogwheel is a liitle complicated. I found some stuff on this forum and will read it.

I will built everything on top of MPD24. I think it will be easy, just wanted to be sure about encoders because MPD24 firmware only accept absolute values from encoders and they are useless, so no relative or incremental data from them. they are sending values from 6 o'clock to 18 o'clock, so 180degresse(and when I pass that 180 in any direction they are not sending anything in any direction, below 0 or above 127, but you can spin them as long as you wish)and I hope that there is some absolute encoder that will imitate EQ POTs from mixers. I dont need PADS so I will be replacing it with buttons, and MMC buttons on bottom can send MIDI too so I will have 16+5 buttons. Basically I just want to rearrange it and do something about those useless encoders(but now I see I only can move them :(

thank you for advice but I was hoping not to build it from scratch :( Can you tell me anything about FADERS, please?

Can I buy some encoder that will behave like pot, just to go from 0-127 "clicks", and not to be 360 degree because I dont need to spin them around and around and around?

I want to replace useless 360 encoders on AKAI MPD24 with some regular potentiometer. Is it possible? If yes which I should buy? Here is the picture of MPD24 PCB and encoders have 4 pins in front and 2 a side: And I would like to change faders with longer one, 10cm. Again which should I buy? here is the picture of the original faders: Thank you for any info
