Magnus mentioned these switches, I looked at the time but didn't think
them relavent, however the more I think about it it seems better.  You
would need one per patch lead (which is better than one MUX per output!)
Can someone give me an idea of how many leads I may need (sorrry I don't
have a modular - yet, and I use a Yamaha AN1x and 303 clone that I made
myself a couple of years back - incredably unstable drifts to much but
makes fantastic sounds fo sampling) and I need to cost up and also think
up some control logic

Cheers

Andy

PS - does anyone have any experience with turning pots into MIDI
controllers?
