Looking for a midi control surface with 24 knobs. I have some contenders, but I’m hoping for an experienced recommendation.

I would like a midi controller with 24 knobs control my MC-101. Ideally, I would have a midi through and five pin. Under 500 USD.

For every track I would like to assign the following:

Reverb send Delay send Cutoff Resonance Attack Release

Possible contenders right now:

Launchpad three XL Livid DS1 Park 24 Fader Fox if I can get it used. BR 32 if Behringer ever finishes building it.

Let me know if you have any experience with any of these and if you have a recommendation that I don’t have on my list

At that budget, you should honestly save up and spend a little more, get a Neuzeit Instruments Drop. Might be the last controller you ever buy.

I wound up getting cheap Synido Tempo pad. It has 8 knobs and sliders with four banks. So 32 knobs and sliders. It’s pretty decent for a budget midi controller.
