Input jack goes to CW end of pot (50k to 100k lin). CCW end of pot goes to
0V/gnd. Center of pot goes to input on PCB.

Yes. Connect a positive voltage to the normalized connection of each jack.
Put at least 1k resistance between the +15V and the normalized connection.
You will probably get better control if you use a 100k resistor here if you
are using 100k pots. You will be sacrificing 1/2 of your range, but voltages
over 7.5 won't be much use anyway. Not this will only affect the normalized
connection. Full range will be possible when you plug something in.

>What's the Inhibit input do?

It disconnects ALL inputs for mthe output, sending the output to 0 volts.

also Up/Down jack.
