Seeing the notch in the Nord modulation wheel
Sometimes I start playing a patch on my G2 with the mod wheel in the wrong position, because I don't easily notice the notch on the wheel. Does anyone do anything to make this more visible? Maybe color it somehow?

Re: Seeing the notch in the Nord modulation wheel
I use my mod wheel on NS3 a lot for a variety of things. It's common to forget where I've left it set, so I've developed a "muscle memory" to check it frequently - is it pushed up or down? I guess you could use a Sharpie and label it more clearly, but I love the look of that silver pumice wheel.

Re: Seeing the notch in the Nord modulation wheel
Common problem to all modwheels in my experience, no matter how obvious the notch is. It's just easily forgettable. Do like guitarists do with the volume knob and get in the habit of setting the modwheel back when you're done with your riff. Muscle memory and habit forming is compatible with all gear.
