Was looking for something different while browsing Google Images for some custom knobs. These popped up and loved the details on them so put in an order with Krombots for a very reasonable price. I was also looking at some pretty awesome spray can cap knobs on another site, but they are like $40 per knob. Looks like these are the only ones she makes for the SP so far, but she did a great job and the tolerances feel perfect on mounting and playing around with them today.

I thought they would be rubber for some reason, but they are plastic, yet still feel good considering the textures of the design. I would be more hesitant to put the coffee mug on the non-volume ones because the mug handle would get in the way of how I grip and tweak them.

I’m waiting on delivery of a custom donut skin from styleflip to hopefully complete the theme, but I think I may have put too many colorful donuts on there and hope it’s not too distracting, because I’m still in early stages of SP ownership. Also ordered a decksaver and cheap AliExpress bag (will be tossing that into backpack anyways), so think I’m done with SP accessories now, unless the skin is too much and I need to change that out.

I really love Microsoft Excel. Banging out any of the hundreds of keyboard shortcuts (anything more complicated than a copy/paste) I've accumulated over the last decade hits me with an endorphin spike akin to making love for the first time. I can program an Excel financial derivatives simulation, sans mouse, like a Formula 1 driver on the track of the Monaco Grand Prix.

Herein lies the rub. Do I actually like making music with my SP-404 MKII or do I really just like having to remember 258 different shortcuts/button combinations?

I’m hoping that Roland adds some more shortcuts, maybe some that will require us to hit 6 or 7 buttons at the same time to open up a sub-sub-sub menu
