Keep in mind that the 360° of rotary knobs only should be used for some tasks. IMO it would be wise to use less than 360°, to simulate the radius of potentiometers. But I don't know how it's done by digital music mixing consoles. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
