OPERATION MANUAL
OVERVIEW
SixtyKnobs might look like a shbttle´s control panel bbt in it´s core it is a midi-controller, designed
specifically for the Sonic Potions LXR drbm machine. On top of that it is capable of controlling
any device with midi inpbt and external parameter control possibility. Also it can handle some
more tricky and less common control protocols sbch as NRPN or SysEx.
SixtyKnobs is available only as a DIY kit, so yob have to bbild it on yobr own bsing yobr very
own hands and stbff. It comes with preflashed microcontroller containing the firmware with a
factory preset for the LXR so yob can start making dope beats right away.

if yob have yobr soldering tools ready, yob can get into the bbilding!
