I suppose that would work, but unfortunately, I'm far too anal about 
having my knobs lined up with the tick marks. I'm one of those people 
who tweaked their 110 as per Stooge Larry's mod 
(http://www.wiseguysynth.com/larry/mods/110mod.htm) even before it 
got off the bench.

OK, so perhaps I need an "education" about how to use the 410 besides 
as a fixed filter bank. Anybody want to enlighten me as to other uses 
for the 410?
