Not a problem at all! 
Ant it's not an idiot question - these setups CAN be confusing and not at all obvious.

Can you describe to me in which situation this might be useful (considering it is a USB connection)?
my situation: im going to be using it with a kenton usb midi host, and have my yamaha cs01 locked in on channel 1 (though id prefer channels 7-16 if possible, but tbh any situation will give me overlapping channels at this point

OK, so this is exactly the sort of situation I was anticipating with my question
I will look into it, and see what I can do.

does the interface support op carriers? i cant find anything like it on the channel strip.

Im not sure what you mean by op carriers? All 4 operators are supported and they will be modulators or carriers depending on which algorithm you are using. Have I got the wrong end of the stick here?

First 10 units have been soldered up. Just need to test them, and then they will ship on Monday!
Next 10 will ship on Thursday.

I am not quite following this question, can you please rephrase it?

sorry, i'm real new to fm.
with the vopm vst, you can set an operator to carry
another, and then modulate the other, so as to switch
carriers quickly and change the sound according to
which operator is "masking" the others.
the vopm calls it operator masking.

re:algorithms and operator masking.
although, its possible switching between presets for each channel would get the same results.

i also understand the vopm emulates a different
sound chip.
and im very new to all of this.

Ah right, I see what you mean. The mega drive sound chip has 8 fixed algorithms, you can't assign ops as modulators and carriers in custom configurations.
For example (from memory might get the details wrong) algo 8 assigns all 4 ops as carriers with no modulators where as algo 1 is 1 carrier with 3 modulators in sequence.
Hope that helps!

exactly.
have you been able to use the fixed algo's with the interface?
