What do you think ?

JH.

I think its not the implementation of the voicing hardware that is the problem.  The
problem is the limited capability using architecture that is 30 years old.  Get some
microcontrollers in these modules to do tuning, multiplexing, syncing, etc.

Instead of one envelope generator per panel, figure out how to do 10 in the same space, as
an example.

Then figure out some way to give each "virtual pot" an address so anything can "talk" to
anything else and you can manually tweak things in real time as well as record settings
and issue sequences.

Try and make the bus interfacing generic as possible so multiple modules can hook into it.

I don't want to make a modular Prophet 10.
