I do remember seeing a bunch of NE-2s used on the pedalboard of an 
old Lowery organ as sort of a priority encoder--only the lowest note 
would sound if more than one note was pressed.

I don't recall the circuit however.  But it was a more-or-less full-
sized pedalboard--about 30 notes or so.  

This does relate to old computer architectures--many electronic 
organs use flip-flops and the like.
