In the continuing saga of the the Arduino and midi controllers, I got hold of 2 USB joypads (costing me about £10 delivered) that each provide:

2x joysticks
12x buttons
4 way HAT switch

Once fully dismantled, these will convert into:
8x analog (6x rotary pots, 2x slider pots)
32x buttons

Once of them has been dismantled and been solder sucked and once I have removed the joystick securing tabs, I will be soldering trailing wires ready to be connected elsewhere.

I have pictures to add of them in their various states of dismantlement(!) and will document the whole process and the GlovePIE code to make them run MixMeister.

I also purchased some cut 3mm perspex sheets which are 19" wide and 4U high (486mm x 177mm) for around £6 each, which will need a box to lay onto and some perspex posts to support them...
