knobs dont actually translate very well into mouse usage!!! you end up
struggling to control the thing... although generally it runs on the y
axis up and down.... which is kinda counter-intuitive to using a knob in
3 dimensions!
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.
