It would be nice to give people the option of using pots instead of
sliders. I may be in the minority but if build a Klee I want it to
have pots. How about breaking this out to sub boards connected by
ribbon cable like many manufacturers use for their rows of jacks?

Opinion: Yes the sliders make a nice graphic display but I prefer
pots. Pots hold up better (no slot for dirt to enter), will be easy to
find replacements for in the future, take up much less space and are
easier to mount. I think it's easier to make a fine adjustment to a
pot especially when the device is not in an optimal position and there
are patch cords everywhere, "noise" in your arm/hand movements tends
to be positional not rotational.

Disclaimer: I haven't read up on any previous debates about sliders on
the Klee or what the PCBs are like now.

Thanks,
