This is what I've done on my synth

>thanks everyone!
>
>I ordered 4 of these joysticks along with the stick knob/handle from 
>meci.com, along with a few toggle switches.  nice price too!!
>
>I was thinking of making a couple into a sort of "modular" joystick,
>
>say, a jack for each pin of the pots (totalling 6) with the extreme pins 
>switched to pos. and neg. voltage, maybe with an attenuator pot or a switch 
>for each pin to limit the voltage range.
>I was thinking of this incase I would want to use the joystick in part as an 
>attenuator,  patching ground to one pin, signal to the other and then output. 
> I thought it mught be interesting to do this on one axis and have voltage on 
>the other.
>does this sound like overkill?  I am pretty excited about setting it up and 
>that way it wouldn;t take up a vca to do the same thing.

>thanks again guys
