 Yeah, it is easy.  Add a switch and diode into the assign mode switch
rank: one side of the new switch is wired to the 'common' side of the
existing hold, chord, unison and poly switches; the other switch contact
goes to the K of a diode.  The A of the diode goes to A of the existing
diode that attaches to the "1 OCT" pole of the apreggiator range switch.

  Mounting the switch is the biggest thing.  Most of my modification
switches end up on the wheel platform.  I'll add this one over the
weekend.  Why didn't I think of this before! :)

  JH, this weekend the front panel with all boards and jacks removed goes
to get punched for the new controls.  It will be a bit of a nervous time.
(I'm adding the '410 controls below the existing effects section and the
new VCO controls below the LFO section.  Something like ten holes. ^^;;;)
I hope I didn't measure anything incorrectly!
