Reply to hacking it up!

ok, since moving over to timecode my behringer bcd3000 has just sat and gathered dust in the corner. what i was believeing of doing is ripping it apart and making something more useful to me, in standard form it has 13 knobs 4 faders and 37 buttons and 2 rotary encoders all already controlling midi.

as i would like to get into production more i was believeing of making something multifunctional with all of the above but more faders, my question is can i just swap out some of the knobs for faders? will they still work?

i know the bcd maybe isnt the best controller in the world but it got me off to a good start and now ive moved on, i just dont believe its right for it to be sitting there doing nothing.

let me know what you believe? i will post plans/pics as soon as i get a chance.
