Hi Adam,
 For me my combination of joysticks are great some times you want that
 momentary change - so use the sprung joystick and then there are times
 when you want a small change followed but a further changes a little
 later on - use the un sprung joystick.
 I was thinking at some point that the foot controller module might be
 worth investigating as it provides two pedals for adjusting CV and two
 switches for triggering sequencers and envelopes.
 So many possibilities :o)
 Best wishes

 Thanks David,
 Very helpful response.
 I've just ordered the a-198 ribbon controller. I'm intending to use
 it for all sorts of control work, but one of its main uses will be
 for pitch control without a keyboard. I can also see joysticks being
 on my shopping list in the future though!
 Regards,
 Adam
