Reply to Am I the only one who hates notched encoders?

Really... Why do I keep seeing them on devices, when I see smooth, LED ring encoders on FAR cheaper stuff like behringer's new CMD line?

Do people LIKE notched encoders? The only purpose I see for them is taking the place of a pair of up/down buttons and a "confirm" button.

For changing values, they're just awful IMO.

also, I believe push LED ring encoders need to take over for just about everything except EQ... those things are incredible. You can map ONE to as many different control layers as as you want, without the need for takeover when you switch layers. Plus you can map their push command to reset to default. AMAZING.


EDIT: to avoid any newbie confusion, by notched encoders, I mean endless knobs that *click* when you turn them, I don't mean knobs with a center indent like most EQs etc.
