[sdiy] korg monotron and connection to electret mic input

[aankrom]

I wonder if since this is a headphone output from the korg if the high 
gain of the et mic input might not be a big issue. I'm mostly concerned 
with damaging the digital recorder. I suspect that the 470 Ohm resistor 
to ground might bemore likely to suffer damage, but probably only if it 
were a smaller value. I'm always suspect of surface mount resistors 
asked to handle any significant load.
