Yeah - I keep thinking about this as an idea.... sort of like replicating 
the VCS3 patch board, but with a matrix of switches (+ lots of LEDS!). It 
should be a (relatively) simple task for a uP to memorise the switch 
settings.

Hey Clive - try not to get het up about the followups! I for one find 
that reading your posts makes my mind start chewing over ideas that I 
wouldn't have (necessarily) thought about before.

Oh, and you make me laugh too.
