RE: Mixers....again.

My idea is that when a plug is NOT inserted into the jack, a uP is activated 
which looks at the voltage on the wiper of the sub pot. If that voltage 
changes over a short period of time that would indicate someone is turning 
the knob. The uP would then play a sample of Moe Howard saying "NOT THAT KNOB 
NUMBSKULL!!!!" I can think of three MOTM owners where this would not be out 
of place on their system.

Got to start soldering up my 410 now -- though I'm thinking I might be better 
off getting a cat.
