I suggested the same thing a while back...

so it's nice to know I'm not alone!

>If, after tapping the select knob on the P3 it would be useful to me if, for a
>few seconds, the knob were to become a direct K3 fine frequency tune control.
>I wouldn’t have to switch back and forth between the P3 & K3 all the time.  If

>Others’ thoughts on this would be welcome.
