I'm searching for a midi controller with 16 faders.

I've seen the UC-33, BCF2000 etc but they only have 8 faders.

I've googled and found that there are controllers like the Peavey 1600x, Doepfer Pocket Fader and the Kenton Control Freak Studio. The first two have been discontinued and I can't find anywhere to buy them (I've searched on ebay but the only one I found doesn't ship to my country)... and the Kenton is a little too expensive

So, anyone know of any midi controllers with 16 faders which is reasonably priced? I don't need knobs or keys, just 16 faders is all I need.

Sorry, I don't have an answer, I'm just interested what task could possibly require this, if you can say.

I wanna be able to control the levels of 16 tracks at once, pretty much for live mixing in Live. 8 faders isn't enough, and I'd prefer faders over knobs for this.

Maybe a second-hand Yamaha 01V or 01X could do the job. Bit over-specced to be used as a midi controller, but still...

Or a Mackie MCU Pro with extender: http://www.mackie.com/products/mcupro/index.html
Or get two Behringer BCF2000's...

How about 2 BCF2000's?

I have a Peavey PC-1600X. It's dated, but I absolutely love it. I say it's worth keeping an ebay search open.

Kenton Control Freak Studio, rock solid, built like a tank and programmable as hell.
