Small note: the patcbay may well be made more "realistic" using two inputs and
two outputs per channel and having internal switching based on whether there's
wires in ports or not. It seems to me that you were thinking in these lines?
However, in the real world this is done to make rewiring less laborious, which
doesn't hold anymore when program clients are doing it virtually.
