Frankly they are too much trouble to remember because they refer to
the knobs by numbers 1-32 which is all very well when you define a
bank and play it. But later, when you return to the bank, or in the
heat of a gig, your chances of remembering (i) whether you defined any
knob events and (ii) 'which knobs actually do what action' mean I
never used this facility more than a couple of times.

The new knob events are easier because if you define one of them it
automatically becomes the lower knob right above that track. If you
define two, the upper one takes the role. The display doesn't tell you
when you are doing something with an "active" knob so you still need
to use your ears for that - but it's a very useful function if you are
practising for a gig, want to make changes but don't want to keep
reloading the same song cos you edited it beyond recognition (as I
always do).

I think they take the P3 to a whole new level. The 'old' ones are
still there and give you the chance to make things happen on many
tracks at once - you can set multiple patterns to change based on a
turn of just one knob. I reckon Colin isn't quite finished with this
yet <g>.
