I'm pretty sure my old Behringer was noisier! I have an old Yamaha mixer that uses rotary pots for the faders, but they are mounted on a rack and pinion gear setup, where the pot follows the fader handle. That approach should also work, and would probably be a bit smoother.
I'm trying to figure out what's stupid! I've got an ancient Radium Musicman keyboard that has some knobs and sliders on board (I wonder if Bach ever used it). Oddly enough, all but one of the knobs are useable -- you touch the knob and the potentiometer bounces around like a Jack Russell Terrier on speed. This vid makes me wonder what a bucket-load of pots from a guitar supply depot could do in the right hands.
DIY midi devices is not really a new thing at all. In this one it's the noise of the 3D printed "fader" that's mostly stupid in my opinion, and also the fact that I could have ordered a slider too when I ordered the Arduino 😅 But I also figured the reason why good DAW controllers are so frickin' expensive: it's the motorized faders that cost like hell! Around 20-50 EUR/USD even from China per piece!

Hehe great job, we can clearly see you had so much fun making this. Now, we want a Metal cover of puzzle.mp3 hahaha :D
Omg I should definitely do that 🤣
And now to add like 11 more... :D
Assuming a guitar has similar potentiometer for volume and tone, all I need is five more guitars! Still cheaper than a daw controller! 🤣
