Not exactly sure how the DBeam is laid out on the Handsonic, but on the 505 I can keep the value at a particular spot by sswitching the mode and then turning the controller off. The MC-505 has the on/off button for the DBeam, and a button which cycles through three modes from the front panel. so I'll first find the position I want, and then press the mode button, followed by the on/off button to disengage the controller. -Best of luck...
