MOTM

> This Keyboard thing will just light a fire under PAiA and I need ammo!

Personally, I don't see any product that PAiA sells that is in any
competition with MOTM.  Yes, they sell some inexpensive kits of lower
quality aimed at the low budget builder.  But, John will never make
anything like MOTM.  He is far too cheap in his design approach for that.

Hey!  I resemble that remark.  It would take me a lot less time if I quit
breaking all mechanical parts.

How about linear and psuedo log.  Although it is not accurate log, can't
you somewhat simulate something like log operation with a fixed resistor in
parallel with the adjustable part of the linear pot.  A panel switch for
"audio / voltage" like we have on the MOTM 700 could be used to take the
fixed resistance out of the circuit for linear operation and put it back in
for audio.  Although, it would not be a perfect log, wouldn't it work
better for audio than a straight log pot?
