[sdiy] How to avoid clicking gates

[David G. Dixon]

That dizzy board looks pretty nice.  I could whip one of those up in an
evening for about $5 (not the power distribution connectors, which would be
superfluous, but just the 0.1" connectors).  That's a very nice idea for
pre-patching a "fully modular" system.  Putting a bank of SPDT switches on a
little 1U panel for each connector would also be nice, so you could quickly
disconnect the pre-patches.  In fact, this would be nice for lots of other
things too, not just 1V/oct and gates/triggers!  Thanks for the tip!  It
looks like I have a new module to build.
