This is indeed a good use of E-Mu's patchcord architecture.  I 
explored a similar technique. In my case, I put the same ROM 
instrument on all 4 layers--each with exactly the same parameters 
except for filter type. I used a midi knob to do a realtime 
crossfade to shift through the layers (if I remember correctly).

Please note that with your technique (shifting through layers with 
different ROM instruments) or the one I described above, you could 
use also use the auxiliary envelope generator (aux env) to do 
timbral crossfaces.

In addition to an Aux Env each layer has the following realtime [RT]
fade settings: Low Point, Fade Range, High Point, Fade Range.

In patchcords, you can route a controller (LFO, Aux Env, etc.) to 
RTXfade.

Sorry I can't post a specific example, since i haven't designed any 
sounds in a while. Perhaps I will carve out some time this week.

Looking forward to seeing other patchcord effects--esp. if someone 
can re-create a Leslie effect!
