Different strokes for different folks. I always fought against the
normalized, quasi-patchable nature of my Odyssey, and even cut some PC board
traces and added a couple of toggle switches on the front panel to defeat
some of its normalized signal paths. It's difficult for me to think of any
normalization in my MOTM that I wouldn't end up defeating as often as using.
Ganging together EGs or VCOs does make sense, but I already find that Y
cables work well for that.
(If anyone ever runs across a gold-faced Odyssey with two non-standard
bat-handle toggle switches near the left end of the keyboard, it was once
mine. I sold it to a friend when I was in college and was getting all
excited about them newfangled MIDI synths. Sigh.)
