What are you thinking off? Some stand-alone box that has some
buttons/knobs/faders that emit midi messages (phatboy like), or something
that you can hang off your computer

One of the things that might be interesting is:
- connect faders and buttons to a PC joystick port, and emit midi or
  (alsa) sequencer events (low budget)
- same as above, but use some AD card so you can use more controls
- use a microcontroller instead of pc (harder to debug, unless availability
  of $$$ tools.)

it all depends how many controls you need, and if a pc requirement is
acceptable.

Frank.
