I have a Digital Music MX-8. All of the midi ports are on the rear 
panel.

Rather than a full-bore mcv24, I was thinking more along the lines of 
A190/A191 functionality, with dedicated output jacks, which I prefer 
anyway. The "floating" jacks on the mcv24 make patching a more 
difficult chore. Of course, an additional pair of jacks for CV/Gate on 
an alternate midi channel would be nice too (and would probably 
motivate a lot of people to expand their A100 system to accomodate 
duophonic operation).

Might as well throw in the kitchen sink too, so add the A192 CV-to 
midi function, and also Kevin's A119 idea :-)

I know, now there's no room left for the patchbay!
