Hi guys,
I have been into building my own MIDI-controller for quite some time now and i really would like to begin now. I would like to make it look like the old Doepfer MIDI-controllers (e.g. Doepfer Pocket Control or maybe Pocket Dial).
Do you guys know where i can find some cheap parts for this? and maybe a tutorial on the basic things i need to know before i begin to build it..
Thanks!

dunno bout your knowledge in electronics and soldering skills, but basically you can build yourself a midi controller with just the things you need.
site may look a bit confusing at the beginning.

+1 to uccaps and Wesen.
Plus, if you build your controller from the ground up, you're gonna to have a significantly superior resolution when you'll turn the encoders (with rotary encoders which are not mechanically detented).
If you have some diy skills, just do it
About the encoders, you should check the bulk orders on the ucapps board :

But I didn't go deep, I don't know if they sell under 1000 pieces. These are juste Thorsten recommandations on Ucapps website.
