    Default Best midi controller solely for filter knob?

    I have a traktor S2 and would get an S4 if I could afford it, but all I really need is a good dedicated filter. Does anyone know of a good controller with maybe just a few knobs on it? I just want something solid for sweeps. Nothing too expensive. Thanks!

    EDIT: I just bidded on a Traktor X1 on ebay. How would that work for filter purposes?

    X1 will do what you want and much more.

    How do you personally use it in your sets?

    Akai LPD8. Cheap and does the job. Maybe some chroma caps for the knobs as they are kind a short.

    You could use the Sample knob in the middle of the S2 for filtering instead. Or use a filter from the FX banks.
