The Tesseract TexMix panners have detents, and the Squarp Rample pots do as well. None of my other modules have detents, but I don't often find myself missing them. I adjust with my ears, and sometimes close counts.

Tex Mix is low cost!!

I guess the manufacturers think the average Racker won’t bother to check it.

Those center detents on pots & faders are not an exact science anyway... even with them locked in, you're never sure to actually be in the middle... I'd even say it is a bit of a cosmetic or a feel-good feature...

Also they make it hard to get micro adjustments very close to the detent as it wants to pull into the detent, its a more complex subject than it first appears.

I'm with you, it's not an exact science. Most (cheaper) parts are not 100% accurate. That's why modules need to be calibrated, so my physical 0 or middle also is a 0 in what the module does. That calibration of course is (hopefully) done by the manufacturer.

I have read on MW that center detents can be expensive to engineer. Easy to say cost cutting isnt worth it if you're not a manufacturer fighting for customers in a crowded market. Not disagreeing with your post, just saying it's probably not mere inattention that leads to these deficiencies.

cost cutting, its bs
