I hear you. I can’t for the life of me find nice looking aluminum knobs. The look with the blue is just so slick!

I’m 3 days into owning the Organelle and already thinking about making it feel more cartoonish by getting red, orange, yellow, green for 1-4 and maybe cream + gray for encoder/vol. They’re definitely 6mm shafts and not 1/4"?

One person actually guess right away from where those knobs came from:  
Haken Continuum player and creator of the EaganMatrix; friend Edmund Eagan

KENTON Killamix mini 😉

Another awesome set of knobs!  
They look kinda big up close but perfect at a distance. No clue what they’re from though haha.

Yeah I can reveal, they are from my oldest Synth around here: MOOG Multimoog.  
Homage to Moog and Moogfest, was planning a video… time is short this days though.

unfortunately none of the links you provide have sufficient specs ☹  
you need 6mm D shaft , so the Reloop **look** like they may work, as they are D shaft, but no dimensions. (there are various D shaft sizes that wont work)

your best bet is online electronics suppliers as they tend to be better for specs.  
(on the above, you’d have to do a bit of google-fu to see if someone can tell you the specs of each)

Thanks again. I’ve finally ordered few knobs colored , same models as @ghostly606 .Maybe you’ll find funny that I have spent like 15 minutes trying to understand/translate what D shaft was, until i suddenly get it 🙄🙌 🙂 ! “D”
