why not encoders instead of potentiometers in x1 mk3?

I know it is already too late, but maybe mk4 could have potentiometers instead of encoders. They could behave exactly the same except that would better accommodate 4 decks.

Hi WarriorLite,

"maybe mk4 could have potentiometers instead of encoders"

i think you want to have only encoders?!

That was my first thought about another midi controller having pots in 2023..

it should be forbidden!

We are much more flexible in using encoders with led rings. I diddn't get it too!

Nice regards!

I would not like that.

Right now you can feel and see where the eqs are. You could add some LED around the pots to make is visual. But still, I want that center indent and when I go all the way to the low I want it to stop, without looking at the controller.

That center detent is the worst honestly, I have tried many controllers in my life and the MK3 large dead zone I seen nowehere before.

I think that mororized rotaries (absolute message - nor relative message) would solve the issue with navigating pages.

Oh yeah, the deadzone is kinda large.
