Bear in mind also that you'll have N knobs for each voice parameter--one on
each of N modules. So for example if you build a five-voice system, you have
to turn five knobs to change the frequency setting of the filters just to
vary the "brightness" of the patch. 

Personally I've found that polyphony is something better handled by
non-modular synthesizers.
