Hi,

I've posted this on the OASYS forum (as I have one) but copy it here too in case anyone can make suggestions for me.

Can someone suggest what such devices there are I can hook up to the O
without me having to use the internal controllers.

Patrick

The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller could be used for modulation or pitch bend, or two could be daisy chained together, one for mod wheel the other for pitch bend.

Voip,

Many thanks. I was really thinking of a unit with a set of cc controlers to sit on the keyboard so I can use them 'on the fly' so to speak. Recommendations from K users (or O) would be very welcome.

That's what I was thinking, when suggesting the MIDI Solutions box. You would need to make your own modulation (and pitch bend?) controllers in a suitable housing to sit on or next to the keyboard, and connected to the MIDI Solutions box.

There's something suitable on eBay at the moment:

Here’s an option. The nice thing about these is that they also output CV (control voltage) should you ever venture into Eurorack.

I have one of these, though not made by Michigan Synth Works. The Faderbank 16n is an open source project so you can build one if you have skills. And also customize the firmware...

Here’s a link with a lot more detail about them.

Here's a video demonstration of Arturia Pigments, that shows a second, smaller keyboard, with modulation wheel being used as a modulation source.

First use of the mod wheel is at around 45s into the video.
