Can of worms warning!

Should the PCB be laid out so as to allow PCB-mounted pots for  
perhaps 4 or 6 of the controls? Different front panel formats could  
be allowed for by simply doing point-to-point wiring instead of PCB  
mounting the pots. The difficulty comes in deciding which format  
would be used to dictate the spacing of holes for the PCB-mounted  
pots. Both Blacet and MOTM have standards we could appropriate for  
PCB-mounted pots. The CVS' pots (as spelled out by Grant) are grouped  
in functional units of 4, and that is the typical max vertical  
allowance of pots on an MOTM panel. Blacet has up to 6 maximum, but  
plenty of designs have fewer pots.

I guess someone had to bring it up....  :)
