Didn’t know where else to post this.
I’ve been looking too re-knob my prophet X to accentuate the conceptual UI flow (sample stuff the same color, etc.)
Can anyone clock the source of these shown below?

Google image search is so useless these days… Google is useless really…
I was watching that video yesterday and wondered the same thing. I just tried to search against your picture and didn’t really get anywhere even after adjusting the frame to individual knobs / pairs of knobs.
I fear they may be from some vintage console he had in the past that he repurposed the knobs from.

they look like knobs from a console - API maybe ?

Ha that’s funny you noticed them too. Yeah they could be something vintage.
I’ve bought plenty of knobs before and haven’t quite seen these. (chroma caps, mouser, digikey, small bear electronic, tayda(

haha me too! I was charmed by how obsessively he’s re-knobbed everything
There was a moment where I noticed he had multiple Decos and I turned to my wife and said, “that’s my favorite pedal of all time” simultaneously with Hansen saying the exact same thing, and she looked at me like I was some kind of possessed nerdwraith

I just watched a bit of that video and noticed he re-knobbed the Console 1 from Softube. I have done mine but his look better i think. Looks like Elektron encoders actually? What do we think?

This is my dearly missed, knobbed out Rev2.
Some people hate but I don’t care. I like the breaks in color blocks to separate a few parameter sections.
I feel I build a more intimate connection and can really fly around the synth, even in the dark.
I’m doing something similar but different for my Prophet X. I’m also making some thick wood sides for it.

not the same, but reminds me of these a bit…

I’m halfway through the mod wiggler knobs thread which is about 19 pages, I’ll finish powering through it when I have time and let you know if I come up with anything. I also tried to cheat by removing the background to isolate the knobs for the google image search but didn’t come up with anything. those subtle pointer beaks are pretty hot.

It’s always great to see Tycho behind the scenes. Thank you for sharing! So from what one can see, most of his hardware synths are analog and he’s a fiend for mostly Strymon effects pedals. And that represents only 25% of his sound sources, the rest being actually ITB. This last piece of information is the most surprising bit for me.
