Encoder instead of potis?

[yentzee]

Hi,
I am not skilled when it comes to programming. I was wondering if is possible to build a sequencer that is just controlled by an encoder.
I am asking because I want to control a dsp using i2c and have pots for that. It would be great if there was a way to automate some parameters, so I thought maybe this can be done with the code (just basic stuff like changing of values in 1/1 1/2 1/4 etc synced to a clocksignal). I am using Eurorack and wouldn't need cv. A clock in would be great. The gatesignals are generated by the dsp. Is this a big thing to do / are there better more easy options. I didn't use a teensy yet. Using an esp32 before I had problems making a menustructure but as there are some analogue controls dor the dsp parameters an encoder only solution is the only possibillity. Would you recommend or advise against it?
