Modular probably. Either jacks at the BACK (TOP) of the panel so
patch cords don't interfere with the controllers, or a multiconnector
cable to a breakout panel.

Hee hee. I have this NOS 5" ribbon from a Moog MicroMoog that I've
held on to for 20 years waiting to do something with. I also have my
Moog 1050 long ribbon controller that I could attempt to integrate,
although the ribbon itself is broken at one end.

I have a Wiard Joystick (the short lived Frac panel version), and it
has a very nice feel, even though the pots are cheap open carbon
jobbies. I need to come up with a second.
