mr.marvelous Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I've been having a debate with myself over the choice of pots or encoders. It's basically just going to be a multi purpose controller used for traktor or live. I don't see any draw backs to using either... Am i missing something?

Doug Wellington Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Do you change between patches a lot? Do those patches have different values assigned to particular knobs?With pots, you'll have to decide what happens when you move them. Does the setting immediately jump to where the pot is? Or do you have to move the pot until you find where the setting is before you can change it?Encoders are a lot easier when you change patches - you just get an increment or decrement signal, without worrying about where the current setting is...EDIT: FWIW, I much prefer encoders except for one place: Volume! (What happens if your setting is too loud when you turn on your device?) With a pot for volume, you know that you can turn it down before powering up...Doughttp://www.analognotes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
