Subject: Re: [ModularSynthPanels] Re: Klee panel - knobs vs sliders

I have 4 sets of Klee PCBs.

I plan on building one table top version w/sliders (maybe 2) & then the rest will be built with whatever Scott offers. I personally think sliders offer a better visual indicator than knobs & they are far easier to tweak in groups, making them better suited for sequencers than knobs..... to each his own. Regardless, Scott will be getting my money either way. I am extremely excited about this project!

Well, 3 against 5 so far... But since my slider vote counts for 500....
; p

I think a lot of Klee PCBs are out there, and if there are less
expensive, non-FPE panels maybe more will sell, so maybe I'll just do
both.

On the back of the pot version I'll have to silkscreen a little
something extra, so they might be a little more expensive.
Hardy har har, just kidding.
