A thing that looks like a 3.5mm dummy plug.
Each one has some LED indicators, and each has a unique ID.
They act like cordless patch cords. Bidirectionaly, electrically transperent.
~5 meter range. Long battery life. Maybe parasitic power?
A local (not cloud) little box configures the plugs, talks to an app,
and also acts as a charging and enrollment station.

One-to-one and one-to-many connections.
Each has an amplitude and offset, perhaps some modulation.
Named groups and load/save of presets.

$240 for the starter box, $17 each for plugs.
Just plug 'em in. Everything but with no wires in the way.

Of course they'll never/can't be made, but wouldn't they be fun?

Sounds like battery powered hell, I think VCV rack would be better! ;-)
Though I guess a Bluetooth Rack-Plumber would be a good idea if the price poit could be as with a Plumb Audio Rack Plumber.

Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.
