oh yeah, midi too.

At least some MOTM owners are concerned w/ consistency of panel
layout (not me, i'm just sayin'... I've read some objections to other
projects that deviated from the standard). However, implementing
the full feature set plus strict adherence to Paul's original
standard (max of 4 knobs vertically) might be a challenge... or a
Very Big module. A couple ideas:

Encore electronics UEG squeezes 8 knobs into one veritical row:

And Scott at Tellun has begun some designs that use the same smaller
knobs: http://www.tellun.com/motm/diy/diy.html

Just potential models to consider.
