Now your talking. This is somewhat how I envisioned building my cabinet.
It you develop something for the top of the wings, that would be cool too.
Besides the joystick, I was thinking patch points to the outboard gear
and mixing panel for the triangular portion. Probably a lot of other
good ideas out there as well. Consider having the wings at 45 degrees as
an option. this would allow corner placement of the synth.
