The pots can't magically be turned into encoders, but you can configure different behaviors for the pots.
From the manual:
POT MODE (GLOBAL MENU 1.4)
When changing presets, the physical positions of the panel knobs will not match the values saved in a preset. POT MODE allows you to specify how a knob responds when you make changes to its position.
ABS: In absolute mode (default) the value of a parameter jumps to the knob’s current position as soon as you begin turning it.
THRU: In pass through mode turning a knob has no effect until it reaches its preset value and then takes effect.
RLTV: In relative mode turning a knob up or down slightly causes a minor change in value, while turning it further causes an increasingly greater change in value. This allows the value to “catch up” with the knob’s position and prevents any sudden jumps in sound.
NOTE: Relative and pass through modes are recommended for live performance, while absolute mode is recommended for creating new sounds.
So, if you don't want sudden changes when turning a pot, you'll want to use either the pass through or relative mode. In live situations I like to use pass through myself, but I set it to absolute when I'm finding new sounds at home.
