Exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for, since this is an educational, hobby-class project for myself. I'm just treating the development of it formally as a product to stay disciplined.

Make no mistake, I'm not promoting this thing like a product, though. I'm aware there's a big gulf between this and a commercialized purpose-built product.

That said, there is a ton of headroom right now on the 8GB CM5 reference platform and I felt some of these optimizations were overkill in this pre-1.0 phase. The FX bus is already block-based, but the voice synthesis path remains pretty simple. Some of the block scaffolding for the better approach exists and I'll plan to evolve in that direction.

Thank you.
