I=E2=80=99m no electronics expert, but I=E2=80=99d like to hear from = Florian if my understanding is correct: a larger resistance would work = for volume, but the quietest end of the taper might not be as usable, = but at 80-100% open, you=E2=80=99d never know the difference (resistance = approaching 0 as the volume is turned up). For a non-volume application = like an attack/decay on an ADSR though, I=E2=80=99m not sure if a = drastic chance would work as easily. > On Sep 5, 2018, at 1:07 PM, Sam Mims <xxx@xxxxxxx.xxx> wrote: >=20 > Florian, do you take all your schematics with you when you go camping, = or do you simply have them all memorized?
