Very interesting! I will have a search/listen. I managed to find a 10k linear Alps K-Series on ebay as well, so have ordered that to further experiment.

I miss the old school Alps faders with the long cut-in time — it makes for funkier cuts, IMO. The new school faders are cool, but it's more on/off, even after adjusting the cut-in time. I feel like you can accomplish better/stronger stabs and chirp variations with the Alps faders. Essentially, I think Alps faders lend themselves to more of a gray area in between the cuts, and therefore not just black and white in terms of sound. Just listen to old school Qbert and DJ Shadow tracks and you'll know what I'm on about.
