Re: Looking to add physical buttons to select what the Knobster will control.

Re: Looking to add physical buttons to select what the Knobster will control.

Re: Looking to add physical buttons to select what the Knobster will control.

This should be a good start as opposed to starting with a scratch control. in theory, if i can set inter interment variables via other instraments i should be able to switch what i am cont...
