Increase the gadget effect: make it an xPhone app.. and just sent the
info via OSC. - There's already various tools for Android, iPhone, iPad
etc to map on-screen-sliders to OSC commands. The "cheap" option is to
get an iPod-touch instead of a phone, but hey your client may already
have some touch-screen phone - maybe even some old ones sitting unused
on a shelf..

Sure they're not physical sliders and certainly not motorized, but
wireless. YMMV.
