Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Scott

I'm a newbie here and have the Mono Evolver Keyboard. It is a truly wonderful keyboard, but I would imagine that for your purposes, the potentiometer version would be better as they will give you more physical feedback to the knobs position and value than the infinite encoders.
I heard from DSI that they are hoping to offer Pot versions by the end of summer


hope this helps
