Hi there , There is a discussion going on about back lit and all manner of
knobs on Olivier Gillet's Mutable Instruments Forum and their
availability/manufacture you may care to look at

those are nice, i think these are the cliff caps (link goes to the encoder
version)

translucent/dp/55T5348

but what i'm looking for is just the other way round.
translucent marking with an opaque body, so that only the marking glows.

but thanks for the info :D
