Thank you for taking the loyal customers into consideration. It is nice to
be able to maintain the look of a system.
Knobs are very easy to change anyhow...
The Rean Soft touch series (as used on the Plan B and Blacet modules) are
very inexpensive ($0.49 each quantity of 1 at Mouser.com) and may be a cool
change for some Doepfer users. These will fit perfectly.
For those with money to burn try the Davies 1900H (as used on the Serge
panels). It uses the set screw method and so it to will work on the Doepfer
modules. At $1.71 each (quantity of 1) they will burn through your modular
budget, but they look GREAT.
