Odp: [sdiy] Re-inventing the knob (was Control Interfaces)

[Roman Sowa]

moog source has such knob (the only one except tuning)
and I find it very usefull and nice to use. But the most
usefull part is - the knob can be stopped anytime
when spinning. I don't think it would be eassy in software.
Maybe rotary encoder with push-on switch?
