hi group,
i've been trying stuff out with the a174 joystick, and i'm a wee bit
disappointed with the thing.
first problem is the variation in "rest position" (for want of a
better word) - if i use it for controlling sensitive parameters, for
example the clock speed of a bbd, the different voltage i get every
time i let go of the stick makes some patches a little more
adventurous than i would like :)
secondly, are there no joysticks out there that would enable the user
to select, say, maximum value of both x and y voltages at the same
time the circular "field" of the joystick is presumably fine for
gaming, but is not so hot in a synth. doesn't this bother everyone
on the positive side, the offsets are a great feature, and make the
module useful for other chores than joysticking.
gruss,
stu
