if it was only the port?

ouifi = wi-fi (just an abuse of the words)

spot on :(

To explain things in short, it's just like you have to double all the  
circuits (meaning ANY MIDI controlled parameter must have its CV  
somewhere) where a CV/gate is just simpler. Add the PIC and firmware,  
extra holidays on sun bathed beaches, and up your price is  
skyrocketting.

A little fun extra is that as you add controlling circuits, you add  
noise possibilities (that won't be just possibilities) in the audio  
path?

next step, commit suicide :o)
