[sdiy] c&k on-on-on switches

[harrybissell]

Who are you calling a creep ???

Might I add another cool switch to the list... Hexadecimal
encoded rotary switches (Alco made some with 1/8" shafts) or
Binary or Hex Thumbwheels.

If you run a signal into the common, it can distribute a CV
to any combination of four destinations...

If you add resistors it can be a programmable attenuator...
Or if you bring four CVs into a summing amp... it can select
multiple sources.

Now, Jorgen Bergfors may say that I'm stealing HIS idea (cause
you can see it on his website)... but I built a module in 1979 that
does this as well.  I may have prior art on the Bergfortron. Guess it
depends on how old Jorgen is, or admits to :^P

Does this make the juices flow ???
