> 1. I like analog meters.

I've been thinking of a 3-LED array on some modules, like an LFO.  I know I
could use a single bipolar LED, but 3 of them look neater...

1 for positive
1 for 0
1 for negative

So, the LEDs would light up in the appropriate sequence as the LFO runs...

Then again, a meter would be pretty cool as well with "0" reading straight
up and swinging left/right of +/- values. What's it going to do when you run
the LFO up into audio ranges though?


> Ribbon Controller: Ribbons ribbon ribbons, whos got the ribbons?

I'm still struggling with a VC "left-hand controller" section. I'm trying to
work out a design with a joystick with attenuators (+ or - on any axis), two
wheels, like the trusty MiniMoog and a small ribbon, maybe 6 inches long in
front of the wheels. Having trouble locating a ribbon source though. Maybe
just a resistive element of some sort instead? Haven't researched that
enough yet.

Anybody looked at http://infusionsystems.com/products/slide.html ?
Wondering if that could be used for Control Voltages. Looks interesting.
I've got a email into them asking questions.


Maybe I'm gonna have to spring for an Analogue Systems "French Connection"
if I can find enough money:
