THE FINITE ENCODER’S A LIE, YOU CAN HAZ ENDLESS!

*Smithy is very naughty because he has never read

Secion 2, Question 4 of the midibox faq

I somehow managed to mix up POTS with Finite Encoders,

a long time ago on here, thinking that you had a choice between Endless Encoders,

and Finite Encoders for midibox sid.

I did not realize that everyone who has put Rotary Encoders in their MIDIbox,

have all used Endless Encoders.

The confusion came from the knobs on my midi controller,

and on my digital synth.

Because you can only turn them so much, and because theyre both digital devices,

i automatically assumed that they must use Encoders with a finite rotation.

But now that it was pointed out by nILS, they most likely use POTS with an ADC.

Sorry for the epic mis-understanding!  :-[

Interested to see this.

For the MB-6582 + albs knobs, endless seem like a good idea,

since it feeds back the value, via the meter on the LCD Display.

For a MIDIbox SID with a 2 line LCD (or knobs with a white mark to indicate position), finite encoders seem good to me,

although i dont know if it displays back the current value of the knob you turn via numbers?

What are your thoughts on this?
