A bit less of the cheek wouldn't go amiss for a start.
agreed.

Secondly I just thought a statement that they would be 'useless' was a bit
strong.
I tend to get a sound by twiddling a few knobs say in the case of filter
frequency. Once I've recorded it I move on, probably never to use that exact
setting again.
It's like saying a blind man, for example Stevie Wonder, would be useless as
a Serge user.
well, somewhat useless unless it was braille or he had an amazing memory, and in any event i'm sure he would want a knob that gave him tactile indication of settings (simply replacing visual indication). wonder used the ARP 2600, i believe, because the sliders gave him the tactile feeback he needed that knobs couldn't. of course, chicken headed knobs would work, too.....
