Maybe sacrifice the CV/Gate jacks for audio and use downrush to move samples and it could go in with minimal modifications.
Drilling holes is cool too.

agreed.
This would be an amazing upgrade, for live use this puts the Deluge in another dimension in regards to audio routing for mixing FOH etc, would be amazing!
