I agree that they are a bit rougher to turn.  But it's not because they're
of lesser quality.  According to Elektron (check the archives at the yahoo
site for their comments), they had the encoders specificaly re-designed
for this feature and will soon be using them on the MD's.  It took me
awhile to get used to it, but it's all good now.

I doubt it.  Having cracked mine open to clean the LCD screen, I got a
good look at it's guts :-)  And I don't think that there's much room for
adjustment there.  But I could of course be wrong.  Contact Elektron
directly about this and they'll let you know if there's anything that can
be done.

Now go play your new baby!
