[sdiy] Multi-voice architecture without CV parameters: mechanical replication of settings?

Maybe something like

Probably expensive, but probably less expensive and less trouble than manufacturing some intricate external mechanical linkage. One cool thing you could do with a linkage on the other hand is get fancy and allow for fine tuning of each individual pot... sounds like a nightmare to build and service though.
