Thank you, Frank. The object wouldn't have been possible without
[polypoly] and several other of your excellent contributions.

That's an intriguing idea. I *do* like the pattern matching, but it's
not necessary at the interior level of the synthesizers. I wonder what
the performance differences are, if any, between [routeOSC] and [route]?
It's tempting, because with your recent work towards a vanilla-ready
filter, it's getting more likely that [svf~] could be replaced with
something non-external, and then my synthesizers could be completely
external-free.
