You know - it strikes me that aside from whatever visual-clue
advantages there may be to sliders and longevity advantages there my
be to knobs, there are probably panel design issues too. Knons take
up less room vertically, and sliders less horizontally - make sense?
So I wonder how this would ultimately affect panel design. I wonder
which would make more overall sense in a MOTM-style panel. Or maybe
there's no particular advantage one way or the other. Ideas?
Are there some MOTM designs out there?
