Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

is it easier to dial in a specfic patch number  out of 128 with the pots?  less likely to overshoot , or is it just as hard to find a specific point out of 128 as with the normal knobs?   it is better to have the full range of possible amounts / patches  spread out over multiple knob turns?  i assume the pot has the whole range  limited to  a single knob turn. Are the pots less sensitive to getting 'touched' and changing the screen display?
