Hello,

be careful cos the bcr2000 uses rotary encoder AFAIK and not 
normal potmeters ! 

and there is one more problem with my idea .. 
once u lock a potmeter in a Joystick case 
it wont span from 0 to MAX kohm value since the mechanical angle 
is reduced in the JS mechanism. 

If the AD converter of the pocket controller can cope with that 
has to be tested !
It will translate 0-50(100)kohm to 0 128 MidiCC for sure
but to what will translate (for example) 15kohm to 30khm range 
once is inside the JS ? 

and btw didn't u said on the Wstation list that u had a "perfect for this task" 
darkstar XP2 ? ;-) 

Regards
