That would be really cool. I wonder why most companies don't implement 
that? 

>>>Yeah, this is one of those things I wished for since I first start 
playing live on the mc505.  You always had to be really fast on the knobs 
to try and get them set where they were supposed to be.  Just seems to 
make sense that they should do that.  At least on the 505 there was a work 
around (forot exactly how it went, but I know it's there).  The first 
synth I got with this was my recent KC, and I was like FINALLY!  This is 
exactly as cool as I always thought it would be, gives you so much more 
confidence to tweak stuff live. <<<

I can think of two possibilities, one is that it eats way too much 
processor power that they want to use for sound things. 

>>>Sounds reasonable. <<<

Another is that maybe it is patented and involved an added expense to 
license the tech. i.e. both are costly.

>>>I don't think so, a lot of synths have it, even some of the cheaper 
ones are starting to get it now... <<<
