I'm building one of these so the hope is that I can use a banana to 1/4 converter. But 1/4" for sure.

One thing that would be awesome is some sort of attenuverter on the cv input and using the physical value of the knob you want to control to be the offset. That way you can dial in positive or negative control at a specific spot in the travel of the knob, as opposed to from the min or max. That to me is where the rubber meets the road. It also makes it much more interesting to send a single cv source to multiple locations and have them all do very different things at different scales.
oh yeah totally. i've been having a lot of thoughts and levels/scaling/offset is really important to me too.

People made good points on just using an adapter, I have several TRS 1/4" to 1/8" headphone adapters laying around. Would be great if the CV range and limit was listed clearly somewhere. I have a few things I am afraid to plug together because of possible limitations. Very curious to know what you are working on.
right on. i want things to be very clear with this so that won't be an issue i think. thinking about some cv controller ideas and cv controllable things. utility stuff that might be fun. i'll post some more thoughts when i iron out a few more ideas.

Top mount is pretty important here, you need to know where you're plugging stuff and having to look at the back of a pedal is not convenient at all...
yeahhhhhhh i feel like finding the middle ground between the two is an intersection i'm interested in. i know it's kind of a weird place but i think it makes sense for a lot of people. as for the top mount vs back mount - what if there were clear labels along the top, near the back of the pedal? i'm not talking about 20 i/o - more like 5-6.
