Korg Nanokontrol...with motorized faders?

[Schwarzwald]

Does something like this exist?! I keep thinking about buying a big control surface, but I'm SO spoiled by the nanokontrol, however, the fact that the faders aren't motorized are more and more starting to become a problem as I rely on the little device for mixing.

So, plain and simple, does something as small and portable as the nano kontrol exist with motorized faders...secondly...where would I start to DIY something up with an existing nanokontrol?

The only multi-fader motorized unit I know of in the realms of affordability (i.e < $500) is the BCF-2000, and that's hardly small or super-portable.

no, not possible for the simple reason that the motorised faders mean it's going to be big. these are big parts and need a good amount of current (PSU).
CM motormix, or (if you can find it) a SAC 2.2 have good faders, and often available for around that amount.
There are more (Euphonix, Mackie) so do a search.

Bah, I'm very familiar with BCF's, I'm not so much worried about affordability as size. BCF's are what I don't want, ugly, clunky, and awkward. (Call me shallow...)

I was assuming this, what a shame. I'm pretty familiar with the CM Motormix and Mackie+Euphonix's consoles...The Mackie is atleast, IMO, visually pleasing, and not TOO out there price wise, however, none of them are nearly as small and fit-in-your-pocket-toy-like as the nano...It was a pipe dream I guess...I'm actually waiting on a Tascam-US 2400 replacement thats being sponsored by one of our GS guys in the low end theory forum, however, the thought crossed my mind that maybe something like a motorized nano would exist...perhaps a discontinued venture by doepfer or livid or something...ANYWAY, like I said it was a pipe dream.

you could get an Arduino and some motorised faders and make it yourself.
would take some time but it is possible.
