MOTM

This sounds like a great controller panel! I'd call it the Kitchen Sync. I'm 
not sure what you mean by a step sequencer (possibly no CV out, just the 
individual stages would become active?), but I'd somewhat advise against 
putting a row of pots quite close to a controller surface (like a ribbon, or 
a bunch of joysticks) since a slip of the hand could easily tweak one of 
those CV pots. This is especially true with the large MOTM style pots.

Are you thinking of a full length ribbon, or one of those mini ribbons (like 
those used for pitch benders)?

This might be a good project for those LMB Keyboarder style cabinets. Let us 
know how this develops!
