Preplanning a midi controller project

Hey Guys,
Thanks for previous replies to my previous topics about me using a HaleMicro UMC32 as the base for my interface. I am trying to create a shopping list right now. I need suggestions got pots and nice really cool knobs that fit the pots. 10K pots are ideal. I also need suggestions for slider pots (faders) and on top of this a Dpad, a button with a play/pause graphic on it and square buttons that ima draw headphones on for my moniter buttons and select for a select button.

I dont expect you guys to look for me but if u have a suggestion or have come across any of this items send me a link. Also can you guys send me some links to good stores that I can search for these items. All input as usual is greatly appreciated. You guys are the best

Once I get all my materials Im going to start a thread on this little DIY project of mine. Just to show even the young guns can do it. :smiley: Love Respect Peace.

sup djgq,

here is some parts I have used. these are solder lug pots, they have a hole for the wire to attach, if you go with a breadboard you are looking for different part numbers.

those caps match the 6mm shaft on those pots.

browse the mouser catalog under passive components in the potentiometer and panel mount potentiometer
