Hello,
The shortest (stacked) sliders are 20mm, while the longest are 60mm. We
also use 45mm and rotary knobs when space does not permit 60mm.
Parameters requiring low precision (32 positions or less) are usually
assigned to 20mm sliders, while parameters requiring high precision
(over 32 values) are assigned to 45-60mm sliders. Older synths (Kawai
K3: http://synthark.com/Products/MSP-K3.html) tend to use lower
precision, so their sliders are 20mm, while newer synths (Kawai K11
http://synthark.com/Products/MSP-K11.html) tend to use higher precision,
so the corresponding programmer uses predominantly 60mm sliders.
However, some customers have requested larger programmers with longer
sliders, regardless of the synth's parameter precision, which is why we
offer both the MSP-DW8b and the MSP-DW8x
(http://synthark.com/Products/MSP-DW8.html).
Yes, all programmers use the same PCBs and 3Ux8" faceplates, so they
will look very similar. The primary physical differences are the
slider/switch positioning and how many panels are used (1-6). However,
the acrylic case for the larger programmers ("y" and "z" class) may
change. Pictures of the finished product are sent before shipping, so
there are no surprises. We can also do custom faceplate colors if the
typical turquoise is undesirable.
Best Regards,
