I own a Ghielmetti matrix (same as in the EMS), and even there it is not
easy to set or pull the plugs. If you have a look at broadcast stations
you will find, that they have wide matrices which have only two rows per
inch. Same for the EMS Synthi 100
( http://www.synthtopia.com/news/06_05/images/ems_synthi_100.jpg) . It all
is a question of space and costs.
