Somewhere between 8 and 12. But I don't use my modular synth for 
creating basic VCO-VCF-VCA type sounds. There are lots of other 
synths that can do this well, are both polyphonic and programmable. 
For me, the joy of modular synths is that you can create sounds 
outside the realm of VCO-VCF-VCA, sounds that you can't create on 
those other synths.

I use my modular this way all the time - I have a taste for simple
electronic timbres in a chamber setting.  It doesn't matter to me if
that's conventional or unconventional.

I have about 5 voices now, six if you count the ZO which doesn't
really need filtering.  This includes oscillators from other
manufacturers, but also 3 300s and 3 310s. I also often use filters as
oscillators and occassionally push an LFO into the audible range, too.

About glorping: try hooking two oscillators together the audio out of
one into the FM in of the other and vice versa.  Then put LFOs into
other inputs and twist knobs and stuff.  If you don't get glorp, you
will get something interesting!
