Hive : X/Y MIDI Controller

[mevla]

Hello,

What are people using these days as a X/Y MIDI controller for Hive that can be assigned as a single knob or surface ?

Thanks.

I'm using a 20 year old novation remote25 with joystick and pad. But there are some modular midi controllers like pads and joysticks available, like https://intech.studio/ . Or you just use two faders or knobs.

Thanks. So there's no such thing as a popular, simple and affordable X/Y MIDI controller, let alone a bank of 4 such controllers.

not sure about 4, but an old gamepad has two, and can be used for midi control.

he's using reaper, but there are other options.

Yes but it's relying on a find of old hardware. I'm asking since I got a micro controller hardware kit that has 4 X/Y knobs included in it amongst other things. I'm wondering about a 'pad' of 4 of these knobs that fits inside a palm. A palm could pull and push all four knobs in a direction, with some degree of variation. And then adding the fingers to that and the rest of the hand allows for more variations. Since they are spring-loaded there could be a 'snapshot' button or something like that.

Might be a nice project. Would be useful for Hive and Zebra,
