Re: MD feature request - pushing buttons

2004-02-03 by scutopus

i believe there was also talk of, if a knob were bumped while doing 
something else (and the knobs were set to 'coarse' adjustment when up 
and fine when pressed) then your parameters would become all kindsa 
messed up. 
i had initial thoughts about the knobs like you, s, but when i got to 
know the MD (doesn't take long!) i appreciated the way they are set 
up. 

best,
wendell.

conrexrecords.com/scutopus for all MD/SID tracks. i recommend 'flirt' 
if you have bandwidth.
