That could certainly be done - if you only wanted an 8-knob surface, the
ADC is already on-chip. I briefly toyed with the idea of using an
AT90S8535 (or the ATMEGA version), using the onboard ADC, but decided
that I wanted more knobs, so went for the external ADC.

But yes, for the Arduino, just add pots and MIDI interface.

Not sure what the performance of a device like this would be though,
when you have an extra level of language involved. Personally, I like
to stick to C when dealing with microcontrollers (and for the real
masochists, there's always assembly ;-))

Cheers
