oh, no! I don't take it as an insult ... just a good idea which I will  
verify!
But if I went digital (which would be quite some achievement anyway  
since I'm not at all a DSP head) it should do 16x16!  ;-)
The VCAs should be as transparent as possible and it's "just" to shape  
the levels.
So in that case I don't care what technology is used.
The sound itself is done by the external analogue units which will be  
interconnected by this matrix.
Only if the converters/cpu were fast enough so that some modulation  
routing (from _real_ external CVs)  could be done - and of course it  
should be DC coupled!

Hm ... sounds like an approach!  :-)

   Thanks for insulting me!  :-D m.
