Anyone ever try the Behringer BCF2000? Looks like it should work, major drawbar being that it only has 8 sliders, so obviously it's not a competitor to the Ocean Beach drawbars, more along the lines of the NanoKONTROL mentioned above.

Indeed!
I wonder if it'll hook directly to my keyboard, or will I need a computer?
Either way, it's still a very cool product for under $60

Speaking about drawbars, I did make my custom drawbars (see my avatar) out from a real Hammond L-100 Smooth Drawbars, an M3 precussion set and the electronics fron an Evolution UC-16 controller. Quite easy to do and it is programable, so I can use it whith whatever Clonewheel I want.

Today I would do it with the electronics of a Korg Nanokontrol, and I'm tempted to do it, but it laks the midi out port.... maybe to use it with VB3 and the V-Machine....

Looks nice, so what you mean you are working on it? Cause you know probably http://www.oceanbeachdigital.com/Site/Home.html. Their approach is nice, but personally I would prefer a more real Drawbar like feeling such as you suggest on your Photoshop. Seems not too easy though, but I am very interested to read about your project!

Nice study! So your confident to get it this small? And the fixing to the NS? Velcro??
Anyhow, good luck with it! Very curious to see how it turns out!!
