Well, personaly I can cover half the screen verticaly out of my fingers. It's easier to not follow a bow, and I think there is a little more precision. For covering larger vertical distances movement out from shoulder is required, but that's not necessarily a problem. I think the knobs ar more or less dead regarding the discussion. And for sliders connected to values like volume I prefer vertical orientation, because it gives a better sense of value (I might opt for horizontal still, when it works better for layout). But of course I would like to hear how others feel about this. --- Thorsten Wilms
