I've not used Reason but I gather that it has UI problems, I've used apps
that have software knobs and the're easy to use, its a compact, analogy
representation of a setting and easy to parse in a glance. If the graphics
are done well and the control method is appropriate. Y axis does sound
pretty useless.

OTOH I grew up with fiddly 19" studio hardware, so maybe I'm biased.
