Emutek Systems, Inc. builds a parallel-controller system for pipe organs
already.  They give each division of an organ or rank of a unit organ its
own processor.  I've no idea why that technology cannot be extended to
disk-klavier type systems.  It makes simultaneous speech possible in
digital (sequential) systems.
