The best option should be installing the dual coaxial pot connected via bare wires with corresponding holes on the PCB. But there's difficulties. Typical glide pot works as current limiter and should be near 470M Log. Typical pot on the DE's left side is 50k linear pots working as voltage dividers. So, you have two options here.
1. You should find some log pot with close value on the PCB (more than 100k) (probably Resonance, Attack, Release, Decay, LFO Rate) and replace it with dual one with identical value.
2. You should purchase two dual pots: with one value and type corresponding to Glide pot option and one identical to pot in the hole you are planning to use. Then you need combine these two units into one.
Unfortunately both of this ways need some engineering skills but should give you the best results without serious injure to original module casing.

Always you have a traditional way to drill the hole on the interface side and intall the pot with plastic... "handle" (like adjustment pots on old TV Sets like classic Trinitrons)

> hi Dieter! i was considering adding the glide option to my Dark Energy, but my unit is one of the very early ones that doesn't have the hole & plastic plug in front for the glide knob placement. i'm guessing unless i completely diassemble the entire unit and try to manually drill a hole myself i'm out of luck just thought i'd ask. thanks! -chris
