Hi,
and first of all a big fat THANKS to everyone @ MOOG for bringing back the bottom end!
After having seen the T3 pics, I must say that after some time of "getting used to" I like the overall design. Simply TODAY´s version of my beloved T1...
The only thing I could never come to terms with is that cheapish-looking chrome bar. REALLY out-of-place, just as if somebody hastily put it there in a "last minute" action, after having
forgotten to come up with a proper solution at an earlier design stage.
Just imagine how cool the unit would look without it!
It´s a mixed blessing anyway:
I understand it´s there to protect the pot - but at the expense of somebody abusing it as some makeshift carrying handle, in spite of warning notes in the manual (who really reads them after all?).
I would have chosen a push/pull ( or push/push?) pot solution, with the knob sitting flush with the pannel surface when not in use. This type of pot is commonly being used on studio gear, hifi equipment... and
yes: on synths as well!
Just my 2 cents
...
Kind regards from Heidelberg/Germany,
Karsten
