that's the problem with using LED collars for something like a
sequencer... you've got a huge range of values (0-128) where even the
smallest increment is significant, making the low-res LED collars
essentially useless. this is why in my own playings-around with the design
of a possible P4, there is a big-ass display over each row of knobs and a
sensible knob-mode algorithm (which is a fancy way of saying "idea about
how knob-turning should affect values," because it's not like i've
programmed anything... heh).

but when we get ultra small plasma display technology... heh heh... just
think of the knobs in live, just hardware... glowing hardware... :)

probably will never happen...

bleep.
out.
