I'm still struggling with the concept. Is it a fixed architecture 
voice? If so, how do you control VCO volumes into the filter, poly 
mod amounts, resonance, etc - all those things in a P5 voice which 
required a separate VCA?

Or is it something wilder, with physical patch cords representing 
somehow identical patching in 4 sets of electronics? How in the heck 
would you pull that off without an elaborate electronic switching 
matrix?

I'm so curious because I designed many poly synths in the old days of 
SSM chips, but still never built any because of the sheer amount of 
hardware required.
