First of, Is there a big difference in performance between 36 detents res 18 and 24 detents/24 res ?
The 36 detents are much more expensive and I wonder if the 24 detents can do the job . The 24 detents/24 res are 1.47$ which I find pretty strange, are they crap ?
Now on the site they say to choose non detented encoders, are those ones non detented ?
I’m getting quite confused. As I understand, the Midibox16e only support non detented encoders, meaning that when you turn it, you don’t feel any ticks.
I was reading some threads at the french forum and they the that the 16E supports only detented encoders…
I just visited a music store and tested some controllers with encoders and I definately want Non detented ones, they are smoother, I’d don’t like that step feeling with the detented ones.
Now, where to find non detented ones that have a good resolution ?
Mouser has some 318-ENC160-24P from Xircom/Alpha that looks nice and are not too expensive. They are non detented. I just wonder if they are good, will wait to see if someone who has some comment on them.

Nat, take a look at the datasheet for these (on the mouser site). It shows them as detented. I don’t know which is right, the catalog or the datasheet, so if anyone knows, please speak up!
