8 different filters to choose from and more will be implemented 
before we begin voicing.  Noise, ring mod and external inputs are 
available in the pre-filter mix section.

has 1 pitch wheel and 2 mod wheels, but no aftertouch.  There is an 
expression pedal jack and a sustain pedal jack on the rear panel.  
Up to ten mod routes can be active at once in the modulation matrix, 
in addition to several hard-wired routes.

the Ion vocoder, which will have over 40 bands.
