I think y'all might be on to something here... something combining  
this idea along with the idea of the plug in cards in the Buchla Music  
easel...

Like, something where you could patch on the fly but also plug in a  
card with pre-routed settings that overrides those patches. Sort of  
like manually reprogrammable normals.

Just thinking out loud late at night.
