Very interesting comparing this to Rebirth RB-338, which was my intro to "the 808" - I never realized how much work Propellerheads had put in to streamline and simplify the programming interface. Also, I really love the little linear scales that come up when you drag over a rotary control: very sweet way to show the user that they should drag up/down to control the value. The added functionality (that I only found on experimenting) of changing the scale size on horizontal drag is brilliant, although IMO when you drag horizontally the scale should preserve the value you're currently on, rather than changing it. Small nitpicks: the multi-position switches (instrument select, pre-scale, variation, etc) feel like they should be draggable - but they only respond to clicks. Really nice work :)
