After second thought, I don't think faders would not work very well
for this circuit (with an MOTM layout). I have a Polymoog and was
looking at the resonator section trying to figure out a way to make
those faders fit (vertically) within an MOTM panel and it's not good.
The fader layout on the Polymoog works well because the faders are all
in a horizontal row, and not very tall. If you try to make them fit
into an MOTM panel, you'd have a very wide panel with lots of blank
space. Or you could break the faders up into groups and make two rows,
but I don't think that looks very good. I suppose you could do
horizontal faders, but then that's not sticking to the "tribute
module" that I was hoping to achieve.
Forget I mentioned it. Knobs good, faders bad.
