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

I always loved the concept of the Oberheim Four-Voice-Synthesizer, even though I
never owned an original one. The ability to play 4 slightly different sounds
from one keyboard is fascinating, especially with that amount of control
(different key assignment strategies that can be changed on the fly).

Can't see any benefit in mechanical parameter tracking or the like. Either ditch
the tracking altogether, or use VCAs and control them with a sum of a local
parameter and a global parameter, each. Lots of pots, lots of fun.
