You mount it on your CP box in the front for additional controls. Probably could mask the connection part and spraypaint it black.

That would require the control to have the USB encoder built in. rdagger is probably wanting to add controls which would patch into a fixed encoder inside the cabinet.

Oh, well I was thinking he could use a controller adapter. Like Ultimarc sells. Also, he stated that he didnt care if it was USB or not.

You're right. USB does have 4 separate connections inside that could be tapped to whatever you wanted inside the cabinet.

I chose the DIN over the USB route because I thought it would be harder to find the right cover.

Thanks for the good suggestion, instead of the old style I decided to go with the newer mini keyboard DIN.
