I would never use log pots for any CV control. You would have extreme difficulty tuning notes in a sequencer at the top end of the turn. Tuning notes would get progressively finer as the pot is turned clockwise. Imagine a standard keyboard with keys getting smaller from the bass end of the keybed towards the top end. Normal size to start with them ending 1/8th of an inch wide. Not playable, not useful. Don't do it!
Sir, this is nothing short of brilliant. 33 knobs perfection. One day (when I'm wayyy more experienced) I shall build one. It is mesmerizing, 17 leds for a star configuration. Wow !!!
Thanks for a nice set of videos, very thorough. I actually ended up watching all 8 of them :-)
The circular design looks just awesome. It's a shame synth designers don't think outside the "square" format more often.. The MOTM look is traditional but nice. Who manufactures those knobs?
The larger knobs are the traditional Alco MOTM-Style knobs. The inner knobs are identical to Alco style but they have a flathead set screw versus the allen type on the Alco. I got them at Radio Shack (4 for 3 bucks). Thanks for the compliments!

think it would matter using 250-500k Audio Log instead of Linear pots for the sequencer?

I've watched every video twice now, i decided to ask you this:
How much money would it cost me, (outside of transport) to have you built 4 of those for me?

You, sir, are nothing short of incredible.
Good work. Hopefully one day I can make something half this amazing.
