[sdiy] What type of switch would this be?

Or do it the Oberheim Matrix 1000 way - provide, say, 10 general purpose
modulation paths, each with a big multiplexer to any source, and an
attenuator. Each target only has to mux from those 10 modulation paths,
and you can link a modulator to multiple targets at once.
