In regards to +/- 15V swings, I think limiting it to +/- 10V would be safer
(at least in a MOTM context). Your power supply rails are +/- 15V, and you
generally don't want to drive input signals all the way to the rail.

Moe has up his sleeve an external controller box. It will be pretty flat,
only 1.5 - 2" tall, 5U deep and about 6 or 8U wide. It will have a couple of
joysticks, a small MicroMoog type ribbon, 8 momentary pushbuttons arranged
in arcs for my fingers, and maybe a few latching buttons as well. There will
be a connector for my larger Moog ribbon controller to plug in (if I can
repair the ribbon!) Power in and signal outs will be carried to the main
console on a snake, with a multipin connector. There will be an output
panel, maybe 3U wide. I'd replace the momentary pushbuttons with
proportional force sensors if I could find them.
