>>well, you wouldn't want the ones they used in the ion, as they tend to go bad. but seriously, this is a good idea... can you get 360 pots with LED rings?<< I like what the memorymoog does- there's a little window & when you move one of the knobs, it shows you the stored value & also where the knob's pointing right now. the stored value isn't edited until you move the knob through it so that the little numbers match. hardly "the wheel", but it does make life a bit more bearable. compare the source- one encoder (albeit the best encoder ever made- it has a flywheel!) & the membrane switchgear from hell.... mine works ok, but I keep it vertical to reduce the effects of age. (must look at source schemos again- I think there's a spare slot in it's addressing..... could use that to add another lfo or something...) ahem. much as I like the idea of encoders or infinite pots, I have experienced both these & the cheap jobs used by behringer. I thought the v-amp was too good to be true at £120, & it was. not only do the encoders glitch, but they are insensitive to nuance. to make things worse, the v-amp hisses louder than a real amp turned right up. uli, wassup w' that? I should've bought the red pod instead, to go with my black one, which does for the bass what the p3 does for analogue synths. (see what I did there? back on topic... clever, eh?) erm, anyway. when I said "identical".... I'd quite like the "track" & "part" labelling per mr hawtin's machine. otherwise, just like #73. can I send some money soon? d.
