poly takes a lot of modules and a lot of time patching, but it's a
good goal for the modular synthesist who has a big enough system

this was the first thing i tried with my mcv24... fun but not very
practical.

it's not too hard to emulate a 1 osc/4 voice synth (Jupiter 4) with 4
VCOs, 4 VCFs, 4 ADSRs and the a-135 VC Mixer - yeah, there's more to
it then that but it's a start (subosc, LFOs, etc)

on the other hand i tried the "mono-poly converter" demo patch for the
a-152 the other day and got some nice harmonically ringing sounds
