Hi there,
your proposal looks pretty impressive!
For my part I'm still not sure what way to go, but this seems to me
closer than anything I saw or had in mind till now.
I printed your PDFs and will scrutinize them later on at home ;-)
Did you do them with FPD?

I ordered two sets of PCBs. So this sounds pretty interesting (as I'm
addicted to rhythm as well ;-)

But those numbers of SPDT switches would burst my budget.
AFAIK up to 6-8USD/EUR a pc. (and they should withstand some heavy
flipping when performing live)
That's not an issue for you?

Yeah! Yeah! Here! Performance! Here! ;-)

BTW, what brand/model of knobs do you suggest for your design?

Thanks a lot!
