Yes this is a lot like a "hocking" technique where you vary timbre from note
to note.  Used to do this a lot in the old modular days.  It is also a lot
like the way "round robin" poly assignment algorithms used to work.  Since
there was virtually no way to may two voices in modular identical you would
get these great subtle or not so subtle changes note to note.  The Polymorph
has an operating mode similar to this also.

Man, now I want it!!!!
