Changes

You can keep turning it forever in either direction, you will never hit an physical endstop.

You can keep turning it forever in either direction, you will never hit an physical endstop.

But you can hit a software one. This means the software completely controls the actual position both at the limits, you can't turn volume up more than maximum and less than silent, but you can also change to a new setting, for instance when a snapshot or sub-snapshot is loaded. If you were using a synth with potentiometers you would have to adjust each control to match the position the software would like the control to be in. There are mechanisms for this, but they involve concepts like hook or absolute which aren't very intuitive.
