We figured this out with guitar pedals. Analog circuits sound awesome. Taking one of these analog processors and layering a digital interface on top provides the best of both worlds. You can save presets, program the parameters using MIDI, etc.

Analog data plane, digital control plane. Yeah, it’s great for some circuits. Digital pots and other bridging tech doesn’t always work well for some especially funky analog circuits, e.g. the Fuzz Face. OTOH, those circuits usually have one good setting anyway.
