MIDI controller with more than one notched (clicky) encoder? (clicky when turning)

[themixtape]

Does such a thing exist? With the clicks decently audible (when you TURN them, not just when you push them)? Not just soft clicks like the Behringer X-Touch Mini, Beatstep and Beatstep Pro?

If it does, can the encoder be mapped to any MIDI channel, CC# (Absolute, Relative, or Relative Offset) and/or "Note Relative" mode, like Maschine? Note Relative isn't absolutely necessary but nice to have.

It seems most midi controllers (at least from my research) have only one of these. But not more than one. I'd kill for 4 "clicky" encoders, like Maschine MK3, MK2, Jam, etc.

Does such a thing exist? Pretty much would make my dream come true, honestly.

Closest thing I can find-- Maschine Mikro MK2. You don't need to change templates to have that encoder do different things. Just page left or right. Second closest thing: Maschine Jam, as it has 4 encoder pages/modes in the Controller Editor. Maschine Studio has 6 (but again, you have to change the pages).

I'd love to have a controller that has 4 of them in a row. Even if it was just a midi controller with ONLY that on it. So many workflow speed increases, I can't even fathom how cool it would be.

Closest thing for sure is the X-Touch Mini (since it clicks when turning and clicks when pushed). I just wish the clicks were more prominent/pronounced. I wonder if there's any way to do that with custom encoder caps.

Anyone else feel the same?

I seem to remember the novation remote sl 2 had them, but I could be wrong, I don't have it anymore

Wanted to bump this thread. I'm STILL looking!

note sure of any other controllers...
but as a sort of work around....
if for instance on the Maschine Jam you are familiar with....


you could assign each of the encoder modes in controller editor.. ie
relative on in the MST
absolute on the Grp
relative offest on the in1
with a spare slot for relative-note mode??(note sure how one could implement that... but im sure its possible with some clever reascipt alongside one of the previous modes)

and from that point, use realearn to enable/disable mappings that utilise those modes..based on your selected mode..
its not something i got setup in my template.. but i know that is easily workable with realearn & maschine Jam

The Novation Remote SL1 has them, but where ditched in the SL2.

Other controllers I use who has them are the x-touch universal and extender controllers, and the Mackie C4 has 32 in 4 rows of 8, I'm sure there are a bunch I don't know of, it's worthwhile to check this one out, the SCE24 is probably the best you can get, and I suspect it fills you’re needs.

The reason they are scarce is the rotary quadrature encoders aren't cheap like pots are.

This is ripe territory for someone to develop a box with 4 or 5 encoders plus an Arduino (or similar processor) to create a midi controller for a few hundred bucks.
