Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi again.  I just got a reply from DSI.  I have order my kit but asked them about the knobs (which dont come with the kit).  The knobs cost another $109 and they are the same as the P08 knobs.

They have also asked if I can send them my old encoder boards, once I have replaced the them.  This is a good thing in terms of saving the world but surely there should be an incentive or even a condition of sale "you must return your existing boards".  I know the old boards have little value or use but I would have kept them as a source of spare encoders as not all encoders are replaced in the kit.  I think it would also be nice for possible future valve, being able to say "also comes with original encoder boards incase you want to swap".

Sure, I can still keep them but now I know they can be recycled, I know my conscience will make me return them.

So, $110 too much for a set of knobs (on top of the $400 kit)?
