Looking into using my Akai MPK49 to control my Virus Snow like a Virus Desktop

[sp33s]

I recently bought the Snow, which was my first synth ever. But I noticed I love turning the knobs more than turning on my PC and starting Ableton or some sort of VST host.

Now I can't easily switch to a TI Desktop, so I was thinking if it was possible to put my MPK49 to use.



I did a quick count though, and there are 28 knobs on the Virus Desktop, aside from the Volume and three softknobs which are on the Snow as well. So there are some concerns. The MPK has 3x8 knobs (bank A, B and C), which is not enough to cover all the knobs the Desktop has. Aside from that there are quite some buttons, and I'm not sure where I should place those.

In short:


Well not completely true. I am a very technical person, but I would like a lead on which route to take for such a matter. And whether it's a smart thing to do or not. Perhaps there are better alternatives?
