Is this a waste of LED The original value already shows as long as you tweek the knob. right? (knob settings)

At least the Atari was released though.

Interesting use of the LED!

This reminds me of the Pointless LED inside my Sidstation. Theres literally an LED on the circuit board labeled "Pointless"

Well i don't think it's useless , it's nice to have a visual indicator of the original value when you want to do some live tweaking with the fm amount or shape or Osc balance (using as an effect), then you can easily revert to your original value so you don't come out with a different sound after the knob twiddling.
I have this on an electribe R (Little percussion synth with some pattern editing) and i found this to be rather usefull.

It also exists on my Korg MS2000. I find it very handy when wanting to tweak the sound slightly from the original settings. Or a way to learn the original settings of the factory presets.
