My thinking on this, right now, is get an ordinary matrix, like the VCS3, ignore 
issues like programmability, crosstalk, etc, and just get it working quick. 
Screen all the wires to and from, and just get patching. You can always work on 
the übermatrix, while having fun with all those modules, crosstalk, and the rest :)
