Has anyone had loose control knobs on Little Phatty. I own both Voyager And Little Phatty, the knobs on Voyager are very firm, where as the knobs on Little Phatty feel very loose, could this be a fault or just the design, the pots on Little Phatty have plastic shafts, maybe an example of making this synth more affordable. The pots are not noisey and everything functions perfectly.
I think from what I remember on the Phatty they pots all were pretty loose and fast. There are a few pots on my Voyager that are not as tight as the others, and not because of use either, like the Fulter envelope sustain, which isn’t one that I tweak everyday like the cutoff.
I think its normal.

I like my knobs like I like my women. So, yes. The knobs are supposed to be loose and fast. 
lol yuck.
The Voyager has panel-mounted pots; this means that there is a threaded nut on the pot shaft that tightens directly to the sheet metal panel. By contrast, the Little Phatty pots are PCB-mounted; this means that they are anchored to the circuit board but the pot shaft extends through a hole in the sheet metal panel and isn’t pinned in place there.
This does not affect the quality or longevity of the Little Phatty pots, it just means they have a little more wiggle room. The LP pots are rated for the exact same lifespan as the pots in the Voyager.
It’s also the case that not every pot has the exact same “weight” or turning resistance… this is specified only broadly by the potentiometer manufacturers, as in they’ll guarantee that the turning resistance is no less than some very low number and no more than some very high number, but the whole range in between is “within spec.” Typically they are pretty consistent, but if you want absolutely consistent within a tighter range, that’s much more expensive and hard to come by.
