Hi --
I find myself wishing that the slider knobs followed the Hammond color coding: Brown, black and white. Without color coding, it's somewhat difficult to pull a particular bar. It's amazing what a little color can do for ergonomics...
Roland have replacement knobs for the VR-09 that are color coded:
Part# Color
---------- ---------
5100031539 Maroon
5100031540 Brown
5100031541 Black
5100031542 Ivory
The VR-09 replacement knobs look like they would fit on the end of a potentiometer slider. Same as Genos?
The replacement knobs are a little bit pricey and I'm not sure that I want to rip the knobs off a nice, new Genos.
So, I'm thinking, instead, of putting a (ChartPak) vinyl lettering square (or whatever) on the even bars (16, 8, 4, 2, 1). Much cheaper, not permanent, and doesn't require the current knobs to be removed.
Other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks -- pj

Hello, I seem to have the same problem, :D and not only with the sliders. :( What I do is print labels on my PC with the Brother Label Printer. You do not even necessarily need a PC connectable model, it just makes makes it easier as you can see on the PC monitor what you are doing. Brother has many tape/color varieties. You can print white on black - elegant on the black Genos - or for example black text on yellow tape, not so elegant but easier to read in low lighting.
