One more question (after a long session last night)
I have the eight pots set up with +15v coming in, then out to a 200K
resistor and then on to the I1, I2, I3, etc
Things work properly, *but* there is a voltage "bump" at the upper
end of each pot's range and it seems to leak into the Output. For
example, step #2 is active, the pot set about 50%, +3v coming from
the Output. If I turn step #6 (or #5 or #1) pot clockwise, at the
very end of the range the Output will jump up to ~+3.1v.
Everything is fine if I keep the pots from going to the last 5% of
their clockwise sweep. ????
