I have to echo this sentiment. Unless there's REALLY no way to do something
(as with the complexity of a sequencer, perhaps), personally I'd rather
stick to knobs & switches.

I already have a room full of ESQ-Ms, TX-81Zs, various Proteus modules,
DVP-1s, and so on and so on... all with little weenie displays and data
knobs... and what do I do? I decided to go buy a modular synthesizer to get
∗away∗ from it all. I would hate to see my modular start looking like my
rack of Proteuses (Proteii?).

I'd rather have lots of little EGs
than one massive one that I can't visualize the shape of
because I need to
scroll through multiple "menues" of encoded values. The
reason I like
modulars is that I can see everything that is part of a
patch and can
easily visualize the shape and settings by the knobs or
sliders. Let's
stay away from anything that takes encoders, except for
sequencers.
