Tom, ever tried that damn'd Polysix? You're still there. Just grab the
knobs, absolute + snap, or whatever it's called. Got it? Maybe the
rest of the list just begs for, lets be fair: "Idiocy", "Meh have an
encoder, it's endlesssssssssssssss, maybe some leds show me how my
0-127 parameter is, or maybe LCD?" or frikking stupidy of "It's not
made for real time control. It moved. Shit."
