Midi fader controller to control levels

Hey all, does anyone use any sort of external midi controllers to control the level of pads while performing? I'm interested in using the 2000xl for loop-launching and blending and stuff, but i'd like to more quickly be able to edit multiple levels at once.

Midi Fighter twister maybe.

With the 2000xl??? I never tried it but I also never heard/read about someone who has managed to control the 2000/2000xl with external CC or sysex.

peace

another option is to get the 8-outs and use an actual mixer. slightly different outcome, but it is an option.

i'm curious too how you've done it lamp - always thought it was possible but never tried. i've also never tried automating mix levels which i forget is possible with the xl.

I agree, find something in the format of a Behringer Eurorack Pro RX1602 Rackmount Line Mixer. I'm not a fan of the mixer, but the build format is what you're looing for. Then rack mount it to the MPC like the Akai MFC42.

rack mounting it is totally unnecessary though, and good luck finding those ears.

any mixer, in any configuration would work.

With some imagination and a little know how, the ear racks can be fabricate.
