  1. only thing i didnt like on the Pro 08 is the continuous knobs, is hard to know where you are, that could be a good or bad thing.

  2. The original value is shown on the upper part of the LCD and your current value on the lower part. The thing I love about the knobs is that you're always in "the right place" - no "jumping" or glitching...

  3. continuous knobs seem lame but i really hate when i load a patch on a modern synth and all of the controls have no corelation to the patch. if you touch a slider the modulation pings to that position. that makes a good case for knobs with no reference. the only real work around would be touch screens. it would probably cost as much as a lemur and a few vsts anyway.

  4. I think the alpha knobs are going to get a lot of flack for a fundamental issue they resolve. That is, when you call up a patch on a Prophet 5 rev 3.1 or later and adjust a parameter the setting 'jumps' to where ever the knob was physically set to. The alpha dial allows you to immediately start where the setting is stored. I think the Little Phat's work around for this is a bit over engineered (but cool!) DSI's method is much more economical for sure.

    But for those of us who go by touch, its going to take some getting use to. We'll manage!

  5. Knobs are so old school.

    In the future, we use Eyebrow control.

    The Rock totally owns synths with his 'Peoples Eyebrow'.

    Many prog-rock specialists have been known to grow up to eleven (11!) eyebrows to control their synths in the future.
