We (at Doepfer) will not change the knobs as the appearance of the modules
has to be maintained from my point of view. The A-100 is on the market since
more then ten years and I believe that customers who already own an A-100
will not be happy if we change the appearance. But it's up to each user to
replace the knobs by other types. All knobs with 6 mm splined shaft type (18
"teeth") are suitable.

Best wishes
