Would something like that fit?
Also how is everyone planning the layout of their systems, I guess there's nothing like modular grid that lets you visualize what you're getting?
Thanks! Mick

modular grid - click on grid above  grid.aemodular.comknobs... ok, I don't the ones you linked to specifically, but do have something that look pretty similar (and I think are classified as small) mine, do fit fine on modules with single columns of pots could work. but on modules with 2 columns (e.g. multifx) they they tend are a bit close together... they dont foul, but are close. also bare in mind, fitting these knows will tend to obscure the knob label. but perhaps the ones you show are a bit smaller, so might be ok? |

oooh, I have a befaco module that had one of these on it... so thought id give it a go. fits well, and doesn't obscure the labels. they are quite thin, so don't make much of a difference to feel... they are more like caps than knobs. however, they do come in lots of colours, so you could really personalise your AE with them. what might be nice it to use these, and perhaps a couple of bigger knobs for things like frequency? anyone thoughts on caps for the momentary buttons and switches? |

I already tried to find the original resource of those micro knobs on AliExpress, hoping to find them cheaper, but didn’t have any luck. They’re quite expensive, so equipping a whole AE Modular system with them wasn’t feasible for me so far.

There's also a 15mm tall version. While they're not exactly cheap at $0.95 each, they ARE machined metal, and the skirtless 10mm footprint might not cover up too much of the panel graphics.

if anyone has reknobulated their AE system id love to see it?
i've wandered here from Euro and a mostly Doepfer system that *needed* new knobs cos all that grey, damn.
tempted to order some red blue and white thonk ones to match my Euro colour scheme (use red for audio control, blue for CV and white for misc)
