Me too. I never write down a setting. But sometimes the decision whether 
a sound is lush f*rt in the wind or a million seller hit ;-) depends on 
a decaytime of some nanoseconds faster than my actual setting. With 
slider based synths like the Roland 100m or a ARP Odyssee (I never had 
an 2600 for longer time) I never could reach this point of perfect sound 
- or better: Either I had reached it occasionally or I would never reach 
it. In the opposite a Minimoog (which of course has to be in perfect 
shape) whose rotary knobs allow you exactly this required minimal 
changes of sounds which make it.

Wait until the day that you recognize the vans with the black windows in 
front of your door. ;-)
