I prefer virtual sliders on a Mac and virtual knobs on a PC ;)

Speaking of pots, for non-MOTM-format use, is there anything between
$1 Alpha carbon pots and $9 Spectrol/Bourns cermet/conductive-plastic
pots?? Or is that it??

I'm also looking for a line of decent switches -- less expensive
than NKK but not complete crap.


Thanks :)
