Me too, on the modular routing. I love the mod matrix, but it would 
be cool if it had a couple of features:

- A lag generator to smooth the movements (perhaps this could be a 
module the user could target specific modulations with so as to 
conserve dsp). This will also help with the MIDI spec problems (128 
steps)
- Some kind of tracking generator, and/or range generator. Currently, 
many of the mod routing are useful only with certain controls. (e.g. 
FM depth is bipolar which means you can only use it musically with 
the ribbon-x and the pitch wheel) The ability to set upper and lower 
endpoints for a modulation relationship would be really cool.
- Also, the free eg's would be more useful if they were better 
integrated with the mod matrix (at least an envelope depth control)

I really love the analog model that Yamaha made. It sounds very 
musical to me. I will be nice to see a more full featured 'child' of 
AN1x sometime.
