Yes, this doesn’t sound like an intuitive user interface. At least you’d need a display that shows you all the notes at once instead of showing only one note that is selected via button pressing.<br>
<br>
I once had the idea that for an user interface like this, you could use *one* rotary encoder that is driven by many thumbwheel-style knobs, all one the same shaft. 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.<br>
