flying faders, was [sdiy] keyboard resources

[Benjamin M. Woenig]

I think a few people will be getting itchy fingers to build a synth with
flying faders!

This probably isn't that difficult, just rather tedious. I would imagine
a small micro, (or even a PIC?) to control a number of faders for
common synth operations would be cool. You would have to implement
some sort of switching control under the micro as well in order to "store"
all patch settings too... I think this has been discussed on the list a few
times in the past. This would be a cool project... maybe it could be an
add on board to an ASM1?

Ouch, I've just realized what would be difficult. Midi implementation.
I'll leave this to someone else to ponder..
