[sdiy] Nice push buttons .. & de-bouncing

Thanks for the replies about this.

Touch switches could actually be really good ... especially if the 
contact area is wide enough to 'drum' 2 fingers for very rapid rhythms.  
I'll have to play around on the breadboard and see if it's possible to 
get a quick enough response time though - the PAiA circuit description 
talks about the response time being sacrificed somewhat to avoid switch 
bounce.

I'd still like to find a nice push button switch though ... this is not 
the first time I've been looking for such a thing for one project or 
another.  I've used plenty of equipment that has nice light push 
switches, but just can't seem to find any for sale on their own...

P.S. @cheater
Yes, I could use a separate input for the gate in and button in as I do 
have enough to spare.  Now why didn't I think of that?!? :)
