Very nice. This is very similar to a DIY module that I've been 
thinking about, and posted about several months ago. The one I was 
envisioning had two additional features for each switch:

1) An attenuator, operating on either the input or the normalled 
voltage, similar to the A155 external inputs jacks and the bottom row 
of A155 knobs.

2) A toggle switch, so that each "switch channel" could be used in 
either momentary or toggle mode - or even both, as the toggle switch 
would  reverse the NO/NC operation of the momentary pushbutton (2-way 
switch).

This would obviously be a much wider module, with the "switch 
channels" arranged as columns. I think it would be a bit more useful, 
but of course yours has the BIG advantage of having actually been 
built, rather than being a vapor-module.

Good work

Joe
