No, I don't call it a knob, didn't call it a knob...AND- It's not a knob, I agree with you. I told you there's only one. And, I'll slam myself on this one too. The one knob is a cheap, sleezy knob at that.
Premise 2:
Why? I don't care. Shocked? Let me explain.
The system is cheap. Yes, I used the word. I love sound, I love creating sound. I don't love paying for acid-etched, screen printed graphics or flashy knobs, etc. I designed this system by stripping all of the cost sucking cosmetics off the thing. I don't want to pay for something that has no bearing on the sound. I don't want to charge a customer a big markup for something they don't want or, not like "my" version of what looks good. That's a highly personallized call and subject to personal taste. It doesn't affect the sound or function any. I use my ears to create sound. I don't stare at the synth. When I listen to a CD or a radio, I can't see the instruments being used. If you're serious about cosmetics. Peter, Paul, Cyndi, etc have wonderful products that look awesome. Buy them. I'd give my eye teeth, if I still had them, for some of their gear.
Good product, good stuff. Kudo's. It's a lot of work to bring that stuff to the market. And, they do it well.
Premise 3: Buy your own knobs. You know what you like, you can buy your perfect knob and do it cheaper than paying for what I could have offered. Chances are good you would have replaced them anyway. The sad part is: Knobs cost almost as much or more than the control they're attached to. Somebody is making money for "pretty"
The dust caps cost less than a penny. They provide the necessary function: Tactile positioning of the control, and gives you finger space to do it. I don't charge for knobs, but-hey, you're not paying for it.
