Hi Gordon, thanks for the reply.

Surely there is a way to slip in a rotary encoder to mimic a up\down value keys..

I was thinking of using this decoder by elmelectronics.com

couldnt the outputs be placed in parallel with the value switches?


It can be set to generate 2.0msec pulses on two channels
