[sdiy] asm-1 pots

[patchell]

    The main problem with using 100K pots to supply CV's is that the input impeadence of the control
inputs is also 100K, which will make your linear taper non linear.  You still have the same problem with
10K pots, but not to the same degree.  1K pots are probably better, but then you start to add up the
power consumption (10mA per pot if you use 10 volts).
