Good to know this, Don. I'll try to keep it mind for other projects.

Here, it's just static.

Time to give some hints about the application:

It's just a phaser. (The phasing part of the Matrix FX.)

But it has a 6-position rotary knob to configure the phaser to
approximate the following topologies:

#1: Not really a phaser, but a voltage controlled 12dB LPF/HPF crossover.
#2: Moog with 4 phasing and 4 resonating stages (positive feedback; unique 
mix for 2nd output)
#3: Moog with 12 phasing and 12 resonating stages
#4. Schulte Compact A with 8 stages , 2-stage negative feedback, and BPF for 
second output
#5: Mutron Bi Phase (2 x 6 stages with positive feedback and opposite 
modulation)
#6: thin stereo chorus mode (2 x 6 stages, negative feedback, negative 
mixing.)

I need 24 electronic switches for this. ;)
