After finally upgrading from the perfectly adequate - but in my opinion a bit bland ;D - Pro 3 standard to the much more flashy Pro 3 SE, I find myself somewhat let down that the knobs are the same on these two versions :o
I know this have been discussed on here before, and some have even taken it on themselves to source aftermarket replacements from Amazon and the like; BUT! I seem to remember from the time I had my trusty old Mopho X4 that DSI offered a knob-upgrade for that synth?

(just in case someone from the team in SF happen to drop by ;) ) : Would LOVE it if Sequential decided to do the same for Pro 3 / Pro 3 SE!

I'm thinking to do the same with my new Take 5. But this mopho upgrade pack its like a closed pack for that unit. Don't know if there's an exact information of the compatibles one (I mean size, etc.. ) or recommendation of good quality knobs to replace them and where to buy it.
For example, the Take 5 have 10 infinitive knobs, 34 standard knobs and the filter big one.

I actually chanced upon a Prophet 8 knob-replacement-pack, and tried fitting one of those to the newly acquired Take 5 - they fit the potentiometer-shaft in width, but the shafts on the Take 5 seem to be longer and with a design that wont let the P8 caps sit anywhere flush with the front plate of the synth... so I guess we would have to go down the 3rd party route...
