But a modular is considered a single instrument and putting in modules that
are different sizes, colors, and styles doesn't look good in the same case,
nor will many of them even fit. Imagine if 1/3 of a Jupiter-8 looked like a
Memorymoog, and another 1/3 looked like an OB-8. Yikes. With rack gear,
there is at least a 19" standard, so everything is the same size. And
pedals on the floor just like rack gear, are separate individual devices,
not a single instrument. That's at least how I see it.
