I suppose it depends on how big the ass of your case is. I doing some
sketching out of modules in cases using the current line and the proposed
line of motm modules (with at least one of each module in a case, except
just 2 filters & at least 2 osc's and 2 adsr's, + 1 900) [∗∗∗yes, very
subjective∗∗∗], some (gu)estimates:
3 rows, 10U wide rack case: about 18 per case
4 rows, 10U wide rack case: about 25 per case
3 rows, 14U wide case: about 27 per case

These (albeit limited) (gu)estimates indicate a minimum of 18 mta's up to
maybe 28 (the latter seems a bit high). 24 would probably cover many of
the top 2 examples.

BTW I believe someone mentioned having 2 900's to power separate cases.
Would this cause problems in connecting modules from different cases?
