When one of the thumbwheels is touched, the corresponding parameter is selected. How about that? Of course you can only change one parameter at a time, so this is no good for mixing consoles or the like.  But for a sequencer this might work.

Well, I thought all thumbwheels would be turning simultaneously. Would that be a problem? You turn one and the others follow.

The tricky part is detecting which one is touched.
