Author here, thanks! The issue with sliders is that either you'll have to use a “latch takeover mode” or use motorized sliders if the parameters change in the software. With these, the LEDs and internal values just update when something changes, so like a motor fader but much less involved and cheaper. I do agree that sliders better control but these dials with LED indicators feel like a better “general purpose” controller to me.

Hey there, very nice project!

A couple of bits: 'course' -> 'coarse' and the reason you don't get the same feel from digital is simply because of the digitization itself, if the steps are large then there is always some movement that isn't enough for a whole step, rather than that it doesn't max out the full range.

Looking forward to more of your posts.

Thank you! Fixed that typo.

Have you come across any high resolution sliders that you can recommend? Either motorized or not, or a brand in general you like?

Go with original replacement sliders from good mixer boards. They will usually be much much better and easier to select than any out of electronic vendor ones. They are really costly but the difference in behavior, feeling and reliability is worth the cost if you need precision.

I've had good success with Numark salvaged ones, but I'm sure there is better.
