So before actually trying this, is there anything which speaks angainst replacing the dac8564 with a dac8568 for 8x cv and adding some shift registers for 8x gate and 8x leds? As far as i can tell, the changes to the code would not be very dramatic?

That it might be simpler to chain two Yarns?

Keep in mind that if you intend to provide an 8M layout with 8 independent parts, you’ll have to reduce the maximum length of a sequence because there won’t be enough space in RAM to store 8 instances of the “Part” object. You’ll also have to check if there’s enough room in flash to store the extra calibration data.
Also, there won’t be enough CPU to get 8 channels of the internal audio oscillator.
Didn’t found that in the manual, so you can chain two of them to get 8 voice polyphony?
Since i basically only need an 8 channel midi to cv interface i thought about removing everything else from the code (like the oscillators and sequencers) and then use the bigger dac.

Yes, there’s a layout called 8>, which forwards to a second unit all the notes the first unit can’t play.
Ok, sorry then for bothering you, then connecting two of them seems to be the better and easier option!
