MOTM

Thanks for the informational links.  It was interesting to see what others
are doing.  Mine will be similar to the AS model rs220.  Only I will have 4
adjustments: the gain (for X and Y) as they have and an offset control to
set the initial voltage (for X and Y).  I will put my adjustment pots above
the joystick.  Instead of only two outs, I will have four.  I say one guy
used a switch to select polarity.  I thought about that and then decided
that both positive and negative outputs at the same time would be much
better.

The CAT controller is really cool.  However, I don't need anything that
elaborate.  And, I can do most of that stuff anyhow with my Kenton and Korg
T2 that I use as a master controller.  The Korg lets you separately assign
the joystick 4 directions to 4 independent MIDI controllers.  The Kenton
can turn those into 4 separate control voltage outputs.  So, my project
will be simple and fun.

Later,
Larry
