if you built an ambika with 5x SMR4 filters and one 2p multimode filter- could you reroute all 6 voices to go through the multimode filter as an option or could it only be used for that one voice. also- could you dedicate the single multimode filter for the audio input? another question: in this scenario, if you mostly wanted to use the the 5 voices of SMR4 filters would there always be the 2 pole showing up on your 6th voice, or could you just disable it to use the ambika as a 5 voice poly?

1 voice = 1 pair of digital oscillators sent to 1 filter and 1 VCA.
You can’t get the signal of some voices to go through the filter of other voices. Routing several voices through a single filter is called paraphony and most of the times it sucks.

Ambika has no audio inputs.

You can create a 5-voice part assigned to the 5 SMR4 cards and listening to MIDI channel 1 ; and an extra mono part using the SVF and listening on MIDI channel 2. So all notes sent to MIDI channel 1 will be played polyphonically on the SMR4 cards.
