Everything on the market is large and/or expensive with 8+ faders, designed more for mixing than controlling an orchestral sample library, or cheap with much smaller faders (like the Korg Nanokontrol 2). All I want is something small, with three or four 100mm faders. No extra buttons or knobs. With the surge in popularity of affordable orchestral libraries that sound great, it seem surprising that no companies are making a compact fader controller with just a few full-size faders.
Imagine taking something like the Softube Console 1, which already is only 16" wide with 10 faders, and chopping off all but the first four faders. You'd end up with something less than 5" wide. Then just have simple software to assign the faders to different CC's. Just like this, with non-motorized faders, and without the buttons or meters:
