Question about which potentiometers to buy

So, I was thinking of doing a modded nanokontrol, but I have a question about buying the potentiometers, I’ve been looking here: Radware Captcha Page but there are so many different types. Don’t really know which ones would work and which ones wouldn’t. I was reading up on http://fakemoneynyc.blogspot.com/2010/06/if-you-build-it-you-will-have-blown-at.html which say “10k linear potentiometers” and “10k linear 60mm faders”… 10k what?

Also, if someone have a tip on buying decent faders for a good price in Europe I’d be happy. (thomann had a few, but these seemed a bit expensive?)

10K = 10K ohms - resistance when the fader is fully on.

Ah, things get a bit clearer. So many numbers, so little knowledge. :slight_smile:
