Best Ai Knob alternative in 2021?

Newb here, regarding MIDI control of Cubase, which I’m “studying” about on youtube, etc. (two great Greg Ondo vids, and one great Dom Sigalas vid stand out):

  1. Can someone give a step-by-step please on how to turn any knob on a MIDI controller into an “AI knob in Cubase 12” (for example a knob on a Juno DS-88 MIDI controller keyboard)?

  2. I have a Microsoft Dial, which (if I understand the term “AI knob” correctly) I am currently using as an AI knob via Elephant Software, over Bluetooth. It is a little jumpy, which makes it a bit hard to use at times. Can I somehow use the Cubase 12 mapping functions to avoid the jumpiness aspect of the Dial (or is the jumpiness from Bluetooth itself, not the Elephant software)?
    [EDIT: Answered here Microsoft Surface dial and Hi!computer Elephant - #15 by jb1 previously bu @jb1 - the jumpiness was described as the result of a bluetooth energy saving protocol, so using the Dial as an AI knob willl always have that jumpiness problem.]

Thank you!
