As for the control strip, Steve Jobs convinced me years ago how awful the stylus is for user experience.  I’m going to test a capacitive slider, and a resistive slider, and pick one to take up half the slider area and use the remaining space for an LFO.

I’m feeding the audio sources into a 4 pole analog filter and a modern VCA chip. This will be the Gnome I dreamed of getting for fifty bucks when I was strange boy. Stable, wide dynamic range, with a hidden modulation matrix. No MIDI, no patch bay, just a toy.
