I find I often need to patch a single CV to 5 or more inputs (especially 
keyboard or keyboard pressure, and gate and trigger outputs), so I would urge 
you not to underestimate the need for multiples. I would suggest that it's 
better to have unused multiples than to have too few.

That's why I agree with you comments below.  

Keep up the thinkin!
