I'll disagree with that very, very strongly since it's inconsistent with 
an overwhelming majority of user interfaces.

I live in the US, FWIW. Every device I own, and I mean *EVERY* device I 
own from portable CD players, my car stereo, bedroom receiver's volume, 
living room satellite receiver, cordless telephone, my first generation 
iPod (advance track on the right, decrement track on the left), living 
room DVD player, my Nord Modular, Roland JP-8000, Access Virus, Oberheim 
Matrix 12, Yamaha 02r mixer, Yamaha RY-30 drum machine, Roland TD-10S drum 
brain, the Kenton Pro 2000, the Dell 2405FPW LCD monitor, and Encore 
Expressionist.

In fact, I can't even find a single device anywhere that's INC/DEC. Doing 
it in an INC/DEC fashion would make the MOTM-650 a uniquely bad UI.
