I'm super excited about the Montage but not so much about those outdated RS7000 rubber Yamaha knobs. I think they considered everything but replacing/updating those things. I'd like to match the diameter as not to interfere or cover the LEDs around the perimeter and get as close to a match as possible. I'd like to order some different styles while I wait for the release date. Possibly some metal reflective style knobs could be interesting reflecting those nice LEDs. Some really nice possibilities for updated options exist. If I could get confirmation if these are identical to the RS7000 knobs or not. In "mm", what is the widest outer diameter, height, inside diameter or shaft dimension etc. Even some photos of the bottom of the knob and of the bare post would be great. Thanks

How about a transparent plastic knob so I can view the opposite side of the LED level?

Sorry, I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about.

I'm simply asking someone with a Montage in hand to pull off one of the rubber Yamaha knobs, there are 8 over the faders, and measure the dimensions. The one used as the gain for the input looks identical as the Yamaha RS7000 with the white arrow pointer. These are ancient BTW. Way past due for a new knob design especially on the best synth on the market in 2016. These measure 16mm (5/8") tall and 16mm (5/8")in diameter on a pot post about 3/16" to 1/4" with one flat side. If I know these dimensions then I can replace all of these outdated knobs before my Montage arrives. I've repaired about 100 RS7000s so I've got tons of these knobs in my house right now. Don't want to see them again on my Montage.
It appears from a close-up photo that the gain knob is larger than the (8) above-fader knobs. I'm most interested in the dimensions of these (8).
