Re: soft touch switches
That's one way of doing it. You can also incorporate a flip flop circuit and a non latching relay for soft touch true bypass switching, but the parts count is higher than using a microcontroller. I found this article rather informative. http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/bosstech.pdf

Re: soft touch switches
Or you could use a 4069 instead of a micro controller
