[sdiy] AVR Synth - Panel design and potentiometer size

[Gabriel Lindeborg]

Hi David!

I am, and I'm planning to use a 19" 2U rack enclosure with a 
"NAD"-coloured face and white printing. But as usual I start of with a 
masonite panel to test the layout. Lauries suggested panel layout seems 
fine to me...
But your design seems cool as well. Very TB3031... ;-)

By the way, why use 22k potentiometers, is there a specific reason for 
this? Potentiometers with a higher value would allow for less current 
consumption and as far as I can see they are only used as voltage 
dividers. Maybe I'm missing something?
