I'm in need for a simple midi controller to control vst with.

All I need are up to 10/12 sturdy knobs, kind of like the quality of the Nord Lead ones.
As well must it have a clean simple layout and may the unit be as heavy as possible.
I've tried the Novation Nocturn, but you can understand it's not exactly what I'm looking for with it's 200 gram weight and wobbly knobs.

Any suggestions for something not outrageously expensive?

Well I´m in fact using the Nord for this purpose, but it´s not the ideal setup cause it messes up my live Nord patches.

maybe mount it on metal or smth to make it more solid in weight..


didn`t try that one but should be cool

or mount this in a case you`ve build yourself..

Thanks for these suggestions!
The Eurorack seems to be just what I'm looking for, although the Alias8 looks just great too, but a bit on the expensive side.
