Thanks for the interest in the encoder mod Mike.
I'll try to locate a couple good encoders with data sheets if possible.
My idea is to possibly use a dial that also has a momentary push switch integrated in it. That way you could edit a parameter, then push the knob down to switch to the next parameter...
It would be nice to use encoders that are permanently used for filter cutoff and resonance.. there's bound to be other tricks as well to do with these handy devices.. even to use a mouse scroll wheel (which most also have a momentary switch to push down as well).
