New controller build in progress...

First pic is what i'm starting with... it died on me yesterday, i was going to bend it but now i'm just going to hack it up.

Second pic, is what i plan on doing, i've gutted it all out. And started re-enforcing the plastic and cutting holes for the Pitch/Mod Wheels, and the Buttons on the right side. I plan on using the side buttons for quick synth selectors.

This is all going to be built on the midibox platform, so i might add some screens, and other things. I'm just starting this and i just place the basic parts orders today. I would appreciate any input/suggestions.

I would really like some input on which rotary encoders to use???

Thanks, and my digital camera is busted, so when i get my new one i'll post lots of pics.
