Yeah, I dig the joystick too! control freak is cool. Nice midi boxes on ucapps!! Check out 
the Doepfer pocket dial! it has 16 endless knobs, and should be great with the MM! But 
best of all would be the IBK 10 Control, which bouth have endless knobs, and seperate 
leds for each controller!! To bad it only have 10 knobs..

Still it would be perfect with the MM.

Regarding octopus, youd get closer to that if you use two midi pedals at the same time,
one for each foot, and bouth hands on seperate controller knobs ;-)
