yep, i like the idea of this - i like the '4 voice' ness of it, as my system
will / should ultimately consist of a full four voice system complemented by
an extremely complex mono-synth, and a less complex portable synth. i don't
like the 'next spring' ness about it though - i still remember the long
imminent instrument interface :-)
i'd get one, but i have a few items on my shopping list:

1) 'midi in' header on rear of PCB for custom routing of midi signal, also a
midi thru would be pretty essential for me (also on the rear)
2) can i ask that the midi in on the front isn't one of those nasty
eliptical ones, but something like a tuschel which attaches with a locking
nut and is far more elegant
3) so we'll have 4 voice mode, and probably 4 x mono voices, but can we have
two monos and one duo voice..?
4) pitch bend out..?

anyway - just can't wait (again)
