I really agree with this idea. I've been thinking about having a somewhat
separate controller (or performance) "area" a bit removed from the modules
them selves -- mainly so I don't keep hitting the modules with guitars (ouch).

As has been said by others, it is very easy to get some pots (100K) and put
them into one of those LMB Keyboarder boxes and use them as attenuators or
bias pots. Also, you can find old computer joysticks pretty readily at
electronics surplus stores (and probably thrift shops as well), the ones I've
found have been 150K.
Now we just need to convince Paul that there is a market for that MOTM ribbon
controller. Hey Bradley, did you ever get that Moog ribbon working?
