Thanks for the informational links. It was interesting to see what others
are doing. Mine will be similar to the AS model rs220. Only I will have 4
adjustments: the gain (for X and Y) as they have and an offset control to
set the initial voltage (for X and Y). I will put my adjustment pots above
the joystick. Instead of only two outs, I will have four. I say one guy
used a switch to select polarity. I thought about that and then decided
that both positive and negative outputs at the same time would be much
better.
The CAT controller is really cool. However, I don't need anything that
elaborate. And, I can do most of that stuff anyhow with my Kenton and Korg
T2 that I use as a master controller. The Korg lets you separately assign
the joystick 4 directions to 4 independent MIDI controllers. The Kenton
can turn those into 4 separate control voltage outputs. So, my project
will be simple and fun.
Later,
Larry
