Well, no, not really, since you really only need to mix the signals and
we all know the in the DSP world, most of the work is the code.. If you
just have to jerry rig a bunch of them together to get what you want,
why not?

I like my drumstation, but putting two of them in one box is not going
to make me run out and buy a new one. I rarely run out of voices.. I
havent heard of the superdrumstation, and it seems like a dubious
project in the first place, unless they add stuff like filters, analog
waveforms, LFOs, and FX..
Now, THAT would be cool.. :)
