[sdiy] Polyphonic AVRSYN?

Is there going to be a polyphonic version of the AVRSYN, done in 
software? I was looking at the design on the elby site and it looks like 
you could add polyphony by daisy-chaining the boards together using the 
ribbon cable.

- modifications to the switch scanning routine so that only one of the 
boards is scanning: the rest can have both column and row pins as 
inputs, and feed off the master
- an additional PIC or AVR controller to receive MIDI, and then route 
that data to the appropriate board via some output select logic..
- output mixer..

i think this would be sortof cool, unless it's already going to be done 
in software, in which case it would be sortof silly.
