Hardware controller friend for Digitone

Elektron Gear Digitone/Digitone Keys
#1

Hey, I like the sound of Digitone but I hate menus. Can anyone recommend me a good, small hardware knobs n’ sliders controller (like a Faderfox UC4, say) where I can set up a sane mapping for useful parameters and then avoid (some) menu diving?

I see for example a software M4L device where they’ve broken out everything in a sensible way for screens, but without a vast hardware controller not everything can be one-knob per function in reality… so what would/do you map if you have such a setup?

Thanks!

Uc4 or uc44 would work.

A vestax vcm600 could be useful if you’re looking at a kpf set up.

Faderfox is going to release a new controller with encoders.

Thanks to all who replied!

Research so far indicates the Novation Launchpad XL is a cheap and capable friend, even though they seem to pitch it as a DAW controller these days: so I’ll probably go for one of those

Any more good ideas here?
Ideally DIN, not USB-MIDI.

I’m wondering what to use the crossfader for on Digitone…

Just had an idea:
Use it for Filter Cutoff on track 1 (where I have my pad/stab/arp)

Big upgrade for the Shik (scroll down to S32)
