Re: What is this component?


No, it's doesn't have clicks; it's smooth like a pot. In fact, this synth
has all three kinds of component: an ordinary pot for the volume control,
an encoder with click stops for selecting presets, and these 4 lead
components -- whatever they are -- for setting midi controller values.

I'm tempted to just bust one of these things open to see what's inside.


Hmm... you've got me curious, too. I don't know. Only thing I can suggest
now is to send a detailed e-mail to the service department of the
manufacturer and ask. Be sure to specify the component location silkscreend
on the circuit board to make things easier. And please get back to the rest
of us about it! :)

Who _is_ the manufacturer of this synth, by the way?
