A new controller with 16 knobs and a display is now available:
https://oxiinstruments.com/oxi-e16
It’s a compact device with 16 rotary/push encoders with LED-rings and a small OLED display.
A better hardware overview offers the “Quick start guide”:
As the web page states, you can manage the settings of 16 knobs on 12 pages per preset/scene.
Also you can morph between those scenes for a smooth transition, where this morphing process somehow also can be recorded and replayed for non-static movement… i don’t know exactly what’s possible or not.
To be honest, i don’t like their web page (it’s one of those “modern” dynamic ones) which makes it incredibly difficult for me to get exact informations from this mixed up mess… but maybe i’m just getting old.
However, the device and the concept looks quite promising, and i guess it could come very handy for one or another.
But it’s truly not a bargain: The current price is ~450€
