Smaller power supply for only 500 series modules is a bad idea!
This is supposed to be a modular system, I want to mix old and new
modules in the same cabinet, and I don't want multiple supplies in a
single cabinet.
And, front panel power switching is important to me, it really makes
the system seem more 'professional', better quality, etc. This is
speaking from experience with a Roland System 700 which has front
panel switching, I really don't want to reach around behind a large
cabinet to turn it on and off, it might be OK for a keyboard, but not
a large modular system. I have a number of large synth cabinets
stacked right next to each other, and ontop of each other, there
simply isn't room to leave space to reach around behind large
cabinets.
