Multiple Knob Twiddling

2004-05-08 by Robert Krueger

I have come to find one VERY big annoyance about the Evolver.  It's really
not suited for live tweaking.  You can never be changing more than 1
parameter at a time with the knobs.  This is because the first twist of a
new knob doesn't change value, it shows the current value, and thusly steals
the focus.  So if your twisting two knobs,  all that is happening is a very
choppy change of values as they switch from one another to show current
value.  You can't effectively tweak two parameters with the knobs.

A workaround is to use a remote controller and assign CC values, but as we
know, the available CC's are few and far between.

I've checked the manual and I can't seem to find a setting to turn off the
feature I described above.  Is there one?

Thanks,

Robert Krueger
