I think having the Mod wheels on the 'left' next to the Keys is more convenient but even if they are on top I think the Keyboardist could get accustomed to them being that way, ie., "on top". So instead of reaching over to the 'left' a few inches the Keyboardist would now have to reach 'up' a few inches. So in a sense it's 6 of 1, half dozen of the other. But I agree that on the left would be more 'convenient' just for the simple fact of not having to reach your arm up which I think takes a little more effort than gently moving the 'hand' to the left a few inches.

But regardless of MOD wheels if those sounds on the X76 don't improve 'substantially'
I think Lionstracs will have a white elephant on its hands imo. Those demos were really terrible. domenik, I would fire your sound engineer if I were you. I would have never put those demos on your site. But since you have done so, I for one (after I heard them) - "speaking of you domenik" would have pulled them faster than you could say Swiss Family Robinson. Putting those bad demos on your site was bad PR if you ask me.

Best regards,
