Very nice. This is very similar to a DIY module that I've been
thinking about, and posted about several months ago. The one I was
envisioning had two additional features for each switch:

1) An attenuator, operating on either the input or the normalled
voltage, similar to the A155 external inputs jacks and the bottom row
of A155 knobs.

2) A toggle switch, so that each "switch channel" could be used in
either momentary or toggle mode - or even both, as the toggle switch
would reverse the NO/NC operation of the momentary pushbutton (2-way
switch).

This would obviously be a much wider module, with the "switch
channels" arranged as columns. I think it would be a bit more useful,
but of course yours has the BIG advantage of having actually been
built, rather than being a vapor-module.

Good work
