Yeah, except both of those are pretty neat, professional jobs!

I've wondered about putting a Polysix in a rack case, since the keyboards are so flaky anyway. Also even when they work, they're cheap and plasticky. So replace the keyboard with a simple MIDI interface, and dump the keyboard and the insanely heavy chipboard case.

However, I need another project like I need a hole in the head, so it won't happen anytime soon.
