stand alone pitchbend/mod wheel ?

I love my current midi keyboard, but have no "wheels." I never needed them until GB2. =]

Does anyone make a cheap usb standalone box with just the wheels? I know I can edit this info directly in the tracks, but having a the wheels would be great.

The last time I heard of a MIDI device with a stand-alone pitch-bend and mod wheel was back in the early 1980s when Yamaha came out with one for use alongside their electronic pianos. This was at the dawn of the MIDI era.

If you need a pitch bend and mod wheel, you are probably going to need to get a keyboard controller with those devices already onboard. Luckily there are infinite models on the market at all different price points. Go to a music store with a large keyboard department and see what they've got.

Yes, it's cheaper to just buy a new keyboard, and it also saves you from using another USB slot.
