pricey pots, etc...

{Well, as theory, that seems a cool idea.  The sad reality is that the
only servo pots I have seen (in Mouser's catalog) are something $10
each.  Although it I was rich, I would only use servo pots!}

Actually, I've seen servo pots for less in surplus catalogs (Electronic
Goldmine, for example.) In any case, yes the idea is zany, but IMHO, that's
part of what this whole modular thing's about.  The most logical solution
is not always the most interesting, fun, personally challenging, etc, etc..
Yes, digital would be the way to go, no doubt..if A) I were designing
commercial equipment instead of roll-your-own and B) If I knew the first
thing about digital design ! :>  Somehow, the vision of pressing a key
and watching the dial on the sequencer tune itself is too compelling
to forget (allthough it will probably not ever be built, sigh....)
