Say you I'd like to have four oscillators that can play at the same time, in order to keep them in tune over time and over different octaves they require an active buffered multiple correct? Or at what point do they require a multiple to stay in tune? Maybe I'm confused
tell me what from the build makes it a bit of a stretch from a polysynth? and i realize the ability to recall presets is a stretch, but something that has presets as a starter point was something more of what i want, but thanks for the answer captain obvious

hi everyone,
recently i thought of an idea where id like to make my own instrument for live performance, ive been doing research for a few months now, reading books, watching videos, reading other forums and blogs, and then over the past two weeks i found modulargrid and decided to build my synth. however, i already purchased my own rack (arturia rack brute 3U) in advance, so my build can only be 83 HP (88 w/ power module). theres a few things I took into consideration that I wanted out of this build:
the ability to be controlled by MIDI/Ableton
the ability to be routed stereo (for interface or mixer/speaker purposes)
the ability to recall presets if needed, however can still be used to create different variations of those sounds live
polysynth, with a wavetable synthesizer, that features multiple oscillators for more mod sources and mod types (AM, FM, Additive?) OR more voices?
effects module, that also features a compression module, for better dynamics control and creativity when working live
the ability to control the effects and other parts of the synth via outside instruments (other synths , guitars?)
a couple questions I had, would this work better trying to make this synth more paraphonically than polyphonically? will i be able to control the synth via MIDI to CV polyphonically via KeyLab/Keystep efficiently through this build, if i took out the Intellijel MIDI? I could still route it through the synthbox and so forth correct? or other instruments through midi to cv to synth box...?) my other question is, if i run a synth or guitar through the AI2 (1/4"), i can run in back out at the end of the chain through the AI2, does that work? does the AI2 read midi data, couldn't i run midi/cv through the input of that and through the chain and back? also, i believe that my build allows for up to six voices, correct? (four through the synthbox). also, if i wanted to run some more filters, i could run a filter chain through the ferry and back correct? i also wanted to see if there were any alternative modules that you guys think i could be using, either to better my build considerations or wallet lol. am i missing something? do i need more VCAs? i also believe i need to make room for a better/bigger mixer.
i am very new to eurorack so i wanted to make sure i got a couple questions answered from the pros before i started pouring money into this science project :) i know that i could sell the arturia rack brute for a much bigger rack, and if you have any suggestions let me know, but i think having it smaller makes it more challenging, portable, and less expensive. i also like having the ability to use the rackbrute w other arturia products. let me know what you guys think and and what some suggestions, what i should be thinking about/working on, general advice, better signal flow, etc.
