Re: Modular Synth Layout Query

Horse manure.  It'll only make your life easier if you do Konkuro-
style patches (not a bad thing, mind you).  Experiment and find what 
works for you.  For me, some things work grouped by function, others 
do not.  I have mults, mxers and lfos scattered throughout my rig, 
but oscillators and filters grouped.  Go figure, but it works for me.
