Ribbon control pot order may want to be reshuffled #18

On the Ribbon Controller, the pots which send the ribbon control signal go VCO -> VCF A -> VCF B -> MOD OSC, from left to right.

When the instrument was originally built, it went VCO -> MOD OSC -> VCF A -> VCF B from left to right.

The new arrangement makes some sense, because this is the order that the components appear on the panel as you scan from left to right.

But Ox often tweaks VCO control and MOD OSC controls together during performances. This is more awkward to do when these two controls are farther apart. I also found myself instinctively grabbing the VCF A pot when I meant to adjust the MOD OSC while testing the instrument, the original order feels more intuitive to use.

Consider rearranging the pots to be the way they originally were, VCO -> MOD OSC -> VCF A -> VCF B from left to right.

Changed with new digital ribbon controller and new panel. Order is VCO -> MOD OSC -> VCF from left to right. VCFs have been lumped together to make room for the glide control.
