Yeah it was easy.
If you wanted to make a small analog-exp-pedal to MIDI converter…it would cost $20, and you could send whatever CC on whatever channle you want to as many devices as you want, all simultaneously.
The board specified here is overkill by far, but it is what I have laying around. You could use the smallest/cheapest thing you can find, I bet.
PARTS:
Nano Board $11.00
Enclosure $3.99 1590a
LED $1.15 optional
power jack $1.25
Midi Jack $1.50
Total $18.89
