[sdiy] Fully assignable sequencer

[Dave Manley]

The Niessen is using rotary *encoders*, so there's not much in the way 
of wiring. I wouldn't want to try it with rotary switches unless they 
were pcb mounted.  For quantized voltages to supply to the switches, it 
would be easy to design a resistive divider/current source like those 
used in old analog cv based keyboards to generate the inputs to the 
switches, and then use an analog mux to generate the cv out.  The 
mux/control logic could be similar to any number of old sequencer 
designs.  A cross-bred keyboard/sequencer.  Hmmm...maybe not such a bad 
idea...
