Re: [elektron] MonoMachine Desktop?

2003-10-07 by Damon Menne

I agree with the ergonomic good with regards to the knobs.  This is a  
big time oversight, I'm in this weird spiderish  
dart-in-twiddle-dart-out mode when using the monomachine so i can tweak  
while playing and still see the screen... the knobs and the screen  
should be flipped.
