[sdiy] korg monotron and connection to electret mic input

[Harry Bissell]

Its easy to fit two resistors (1/8 watt are fine) inside the plug itself.  I have a 1/4" jack with 100K/10K
resistors inside, and mini-hooks on the other end. I use it as an audio cable to jack on to points inside all sort of DIY gear.

I just make sure to label the special cords...

I have some 5dB pad adapters (inconveniently RCA to 1/8"). Still, they 
might work. I think I have some inline 1/" females somewhere...
