true. but the tradeoff is that you get endless rotaries to control the 
parameters
and the price is a lot cheaper than it would be if everything had a 
dedicated knob
(look at the nord lead 3, for example).

this isn't exactly correct. the knobs only need to be pushed in to 
accelerate
change in parameters. in other words, if you don't push them in, the 
value changes
by one with each "tick" as you turn it; if you do push them in, it 
changes by seven
with each "tick." there's no other second mode that they can jump to if 
released.

true, it may not be the best set up for someone wishing to play and 
tweak.  but I
think the focus was slightly more towards the "interactive sequencing" 
end.  most
people (it seems) use the keyboard to write sequences and then tweak 
later.
