6.4.2 Knobs
A knob on your S2.
Knobs are rotary potentiometers with limited range — this is indicated by the limited white ring
around them. By turning them, you can dial an absolute value for the parameter. The small
white line on their top indicates the current value of the parameter within the defined range.
Depending on their purpose, most of them have a center detent at the middle (default) posi-
tion, which is shown by the little notch on their ring.
6.4.3 Encoders
An encoder on your S2.
Encoders are endless rotary controls — this is indicated by the full white ring around them. By
turning them, you can dial a value for the parameter relatively to its current value in the soft-
ware. All encoders have a step-by-step movement.
Additionally, encoders have a “push” action available: pushing the encoder can trigger some
other function.
