Best midi controller solely for filter knob?

[Big Panda]

Hold shift and they become gain knobs. I did that for a bit, but hated the stepped encoder for a filter. I either use an effect, or a knob on my X1

See if you can find a Reloop Contour for sale (it's been discontinued)

I always wanted to lay my hands on one of these:

Super useful little box...

I saw this one in Controllers forum and it's dirty cheap.

I actually used an LPD8 for filters and EQ for a bit, but they don't have a a centre click and the knobs are really small. I did put chroma caps on, but they didn't feel very sturdy. To get round the no centre click, I mapped different pads to reset each parameter, and had them in soft take over. And they are £30 new.

I did whole set just using an LPD8 once when I was bored, and it is do able, but really fidley. Anyway I digress.

Yeah they are cheap, and feel cheap but would probably be ok for filter/effects

I was using a Nocturn with my VCI300 ages ago and that was good - it uses different pages so you can control all sorts with it as well.

You could go for a Novation Twitch (which are cheap for the amount of controls it has) and remap it, I use a Novation twitch to control effects in Ableton and Traktor

just use shift+gain knob's or use it in the effects section!!

1+ for the LPD8.

I use it to control the loop functions in traktor s4 more smoother (instead of knobs I use pads).
For the knobs on the LPD8 I control the frequency of different effects in ableton. For example, I use 2 knobs
to control a white noise loop running in ableton. I put a autofilter on the channel that I map the 2 knobs to
frequency and resonance. I also use it for special "home made" filters.

It's very cheap tho.
