Disclosed is a hardware controller that may interact with audio, lighting, or other computer componentry to control various digital parameters of the same. The presently disclosed controller allows for button presses, knob twisting, and slider engagement, but does so in a manner that remains intuitive without the need for partitioning a mixer into separate sections for independent devices. In this manner, the present invention avoids the need for a large physical footprint that would otherwise require a large amount of space and the use of multiple hands over a period of time by the user.
