flickr by g.p.macklin"I received some knobs today from MOTM/Synthesis Technology and wanted to see how they compared. They are:
1. Tiptop Audio
2. The Harvestman
3. MOTM/Synthesis Technology
4. Toppobrillo
5. Flight of Harmony
Each knob has a really nice non-slip grippy rubber surface. My favorites of the group are 2 and 3. The rubber on these knobs has slightly more grip.
NOTE: The knobs from MOTM/Synthesis Technology are a custom Rogan knob that Paul had made for his Frac Rack modules. They are not currently available for purchase from distributors. He was clearing out old stock so I picked them up for my DIY Eurorack modules. However, all of the other knobs are still available from various distributors.
Granular Matter"
#4 or maybe #5 is the Electribe Mk1 kind, and I love it, wish I had a combination of those and the Novation Nova/Station knobs for all my equipment. MS2000's got #1 knobs but as hard plastic, terrible after you've enjoyed an Electribe Mk1 which has soft rubber pads and knobs.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm trying to say is, tactile feedback is important :)
I know this is kind of a long shot, but.. I've been looking for a knob like #2 for a while. Do you know of any distributor that carries it?
