I like that..
About a year ago, I saw a guy on a talk show who had nails coming out of
his head, that were surgically implanted into his scalp. Since then, I
have quietly fantasized about the prospects of surgically implanting
various types of CV controllers directly into body parts. Need a good
LFO? Move your head around in a lifelike manner... More jacks? Wire up
your patchbay fore-arm. I think your vision of total hand control goes
one step in the direction I would love to go with modular. But that is
probably the reason it's best for me to keep my thoughts of a full
modular body suit to myself... (Think of Darth Vader with VCO's...)
