basically a midi controller unit where you can assign it to control 1-16 of the midi channels in a sequence.
An example of putting it to use would be connecting it via Midi- IN to an arranger keyboard and using it as a realtime control unit for cutoff, harmonics, reverb, chorus, eq, mod, pitch bend etc. and you have the ability to switch which midi channel it is targeting...
does such a device exist?
Nick Hi Nick, yes there are, Behringer: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCR2000.aspx M-Audio: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProjectMixIO.html Also the M-Audio Evolution UC33e. One on Ebay now: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/M-Audio-Evolution...#ht_1354wt_1139 Akai: http://www.akaipro.com/mpd24 plsue they make different models eg MPD 32 MPD16 etc Thats just a few, there are still more. Best place, especially for older discontinued models is on Ebay, Instruments, Midi Controllers... Hope that helps a bit. I'm sure other Zoners will ahve different brands and models they can suggest but there are quite a few.  Cheers Dennis [This message has been edited by miden (edited 12-07-2010).]

Most if not all of the above, also this Behringer with sliders: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCF2000.aspx Novation makes some very interesting controllers: the SL MkII http://www.novationmusic.com/products/midi_controllers/sl_mkii and the same thing without keyboard and X/Z pad, the Zero: http://www.novationmusic.com/products/midi_controllers/zero_sl_mk_ii Novation support can help you if you ask specific questions via e-mail, I have done so and they were very helpful and straightforward. Keep in mind that all of the above (as well as what others posted) are geared towards controlling computer based DAWs, synths etc. Verify that they can do what you want beforehand. Also make sure that the arranger or whatever you want to control with them CAN accept those kind of messages via midi coming from one of these controllers. On the cheap side, if there is a PC available, maybe the Korg Nanocontrol can do it http://www.korg.com/product.aspx?&pd=415 (Pc is needed because this has only USB midi). you can use more than one of them if you want, for double the controllers. edit: didn't see that Lee had already listed the Novation controllers. Anyway that makes two of us. What exactly are you thinking of controlling? is it an arranger? [This message has been edited by trident (edited 12-07-2010).]
