Re: [motm] Joysticks, Catsticks

I haven't seen any schematics.  Remember that the Catstick has 2 LFOs and 4 
VCAs along with the fixed voltages and the spring loaded joystick.

My Catstick has a modification that allows you to precisely set the maximum 
and minimum X and Y ranges without holding the joystick at the max 
levels.  These are four small switches above the joystick.  You can see it 
here:

That Catstick on eBay went for an absurd price!  I thought I paid a lot for 
mine but it makes me consider selling it just for the ROI!
