Hi- is it just me that has difficulty adjusting parameters on disting?


how do you mean?
remembering what they are? try using fewer algos - favourites help! and/or manual on laptop/tablet/phone
access to knobs? re-arrange case so that there is more space either side...
setting precise values? re-arrange case so that the screen is easier to see... which can be difficult

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!

sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities


and/or manual on laptop/tablet/phone

https://distingquickguide.rustle.works/ is nice for a quick reference!


I find it generally a pain in the arse, I have to get the manual out almost every time I need to set a different mode! Not to mention the 0-4 parameter settings and a very 'techie' manual to confuse my tiny brain, it reads like algebra :)

Other opinions are available, and I wouldn't kick it out of my rack

Tune is handy.
Noise is good.
Stereo Tape Delay is rather good.
Anything from the Sample Player section.
Full wave rectifier is a good thing to have.
Slew rate limiter good to have.

Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.

@wishbonebrewery - are you using favourites? I think one of the main reasons that you're having to consult the manual every time you use it - is that you're trying to use it for too many things... yes it can do lots, but as with everything often less is more!
