I was using sliders w/ built-in indicators -- no knobs. ModCan uses
them too, I believe.
That way I can fit them fairly close together.
I do really like the circular sequencer designs, though. The one Scott
linked to was really nice!
I'll try to do a layout this week.
Pot pro: may be a little less expensive.
Pot con: Sliders would be on their own PCB, for easy connection.
