cheap 4 button controller
i just need four buttons D: for cheap. theres the dicers i can get for 75 on amazon. just wondering if anyone knew of anything cheaper.
lpd8 is way cheaper - tho i guess bigger and with more controls
edit: ok - that was a crap suggestion as i see from your sig u already have one 
i would probably hack a gamepad or something if i just wanted 4 extra buttons
i tried doing that with my DJ hero Xbox 360 controller but its wireless and i think it going through the wireless receiver made it so that it wasnt recognizable. idk but i couldnt get M-Joy to recognize anything but my lpd
LPD8 seems like a no brainer but if you already had one then yea gamepad or something..
Numpad or LPD8
I always keep this in mind when I need a few buttons.
It uses the keyboard mappings so you don’t have to worry about converting to MIDI.
i have a novation nocturn for sale here:
it’s got more buttons than you need + knobs, but that’s not always a bad thing 
the size is compact, and the price is low - if interested shoot me a PM.
