pricey pots, etc...

[Josh Rowe]

Indeed it would be very cool!
Imagine a Nord Lead with servo pots.  Change to a different patch, 
and baam! all the pots start turning. 
A whole modular with servo pots, would just blow my mind.

I've spent enough time just going for analog modules, so for me any 
microprocessor-based designs are out of budget (for now).
