Re: Dotcom Compatible OSC with coarse knob instead of range switch?

2008-10-28 by warpt666

Kookie, 

I want to be able to sweep through the range but I prefer not to use other modules and 
cables to do it if there are units out there that will do this. As far as liking or disliking 
them, they have their place but as of now I'm looking for something that doesn't have 
them.

How many different ways did I spell "coarse"? I really need to look at what I'm typing.

Signed,
Kookie too

faithfully reproduce it.
