hello hello.

I'm looking into controlling devices that can produce gate and CV 
signals but aren't keyboard-based. I know there are joysticks with 
gate buttons and ribbon controllers and touch sensitive pads but what 
else? I'm not opposed to DIY projects (I can solder OK) and I think 
the more different types of controllers the better (within reason and 
budget). Simple and/or complex.

While I have a MIDI to CV converter, I'd rather keep it analog, 
portable and battery operated. I'll have A-119, the external in / 
envelope follower to help interface stuff.

What's out there and what do you like using?

thanks,
Bryan K.
