modular at the moment.

using vactrols is a solution to programming pots on a module.  Gene Stopp
was kind enough to share a little info with me on how this was done on
emerson's rig.

any tips on connecting them.

last one available.  maybe i am looking in the wrong place?  Is there a way
to search the entire archive with a keyword?
