I really don't care how it mounts as long as it's on the front panel.
BTW, although most studio equipment does have the jacks on the back,
those jacks are almost always terminated in some type of patchbay
with the jacks on the front. The whole idea of a modular is based
on the ability to patch together any configuration. This requires
front panel jacks. What if all the connections had to be patched on
the back? Why should the MIDI jack be any different?
