Elektron Musical Instruments

Is it just me, or wouldn't it make much more sense for the knobs to 
transmit large increments when not pushed... and small increments 
when pushed.  Intuitively, you would turn the knob effortlessly to 
reach the "area" of data you want... and then push down for fine 
details.  This would also extend the life of the knobs (less pushing) 
and live filter sweeps etc. would be easier.  Off Topic: Is anyone 
interested in a Roland SH3... not the 3a.  I really want to buy a 
sidstation.  I think that it would be best to keep transactions 
within the US.  contact me at bachypham@... 

peace

Hi Bachypalm,

Yes, I totally agree.  In fact, I posted this idea to the list several
months ago.  Also, a few others here also posted this same thing even
before me!

Elektron - are you listening?  This makes so much more sense...  I
always find myself pushing the knob for large increments.  It should
really be the other way around.

I like the way they are now. I find it intuitive to touch knobs
lightly for fine adjustments and to apply pressure for more severe
ones. 

When I imagine it the other way, it seems like it would be hard to
make a fine adjustment (such as of SRR or low values of RTIME, where
adjacent settings make totally different noises) without "jostling"
it out of position as you let go.

Hello all,

I think it makes more sense the way it is now.
To me, it is more intuitive in a live situation to have the
knobs transmitting large increments when pushed.
This way we avoid unwanted moves of the know to lead to a screwed-up 
sound and we can tweak smoothly.
If I want a dramatic sound change, sure I'll push hard for it (that's 
the way I feel when playing)

and for something completely different :
I am reading all the SAMpler stuff with interest, does anyone have
a sample "voice" from the SAM software to upload in the files so that
I (and others) could understand how amazing that piece of software 
was ?

Thanx in advance

Xavier
