Heck, even in pattern mode, adjusting the velocity of a note, holding the knob and waiting as it replays the pattern (or temp loop) over and over until it's exactly right and then going on to the next "problem" note ...  That's totally clobbered my right arm and back after a bit.  From the photo of your setup, I bet it's as bad, unless you're standing and really leaning over it.
