============ ===
reminds me of the fact that most "log taper" pots are actually two linear
regions forming a "bent knee" shape. will this optimization also apply to
the moog-slayer, under atomahawk control?
haha... (TV voice:) "how much would you pay for this extra feature? $100?
$200? $300? mike, please tell the existing hawk-800 users how much this
upgrade will cost... drum roll please..."
