I'm exploring controller options, when working with Bitwig. Bitwig has made a lot of Bitwig Extensions and Driven By Moss even more, so there is a lot to test, and then you can make your own extensions using Javascript or JAVA.
When you come from "What is this controller limited to" to "How would I like my controllers to work", it's a completely different ballgame. After testing different knobs and faders, I have ended up with the LPD8 being the best I have now for Device Remotes.
@mosgaard I've had multiple Faderports including the 16, a cheap device I bought from Ali Express and modded, and now an Icon Nano. The Nano works well for me, and I've created Reaper shortcuts for several of the buttons. It also has a built-in battery and a bluetooth mode which I've not used, but in theory I could move it around the studio space as desired. In reality everything in my studio space is within easy reach.
