AW: motorised pots

[Edward Leckie]

If you wanted a simple connection couldn't you use a Cross-point switch, with
buttons for X and Y. Or using with a micro, use a fast switching technique with
variable pulsewidth to generate an effective resistance and hence have a
variable attenuating programmable matrix.

....usually, yes.

cable patching end points!!  You get the flexibility of programming a
modular with the ability to recall patches with the assistance of software.
That's my dream instrument (a la NASA budget)!
.....now you are talking! Although my own taste runs to a big patching
matrix with illuminated buttons..
press the button to connect/disconnect, with the button illuminating for 'on'..
