MOTM

Dave Brown in a recent post:

"3U x 24U is about the maximum I can comfortably reach when using the 
synth."

Dave, it looks like you sit in your studio, which makes sense if you're 
playing the keyboards a lot.  A while back, when I mentioned on this 
list that I was adding a fifth row of cabinets, Scott Juskiw wondered if 
I'd have to use a ladder!  Actually, I can reach the top row of knobs on 
my synth easily, because I work standing up like those 
nineteenth-century academics (John Stuart Mill) who would study for 
hours standing at a desk.  I like standing while working on patches.  It 
seems to focus my attention and keep me alert.  I use the keyboard only 
occasionally.  I don't use foot pedals, either.  Sometimes I do pull up 
a chair to sit in front of the Pro-Tools screen and computer keyboard.

So:  Do you prefer to sit or stand while working with your MOTM?  This 
intent seems to be an unstated assumption when designing a cabinet, and 
I wanted to bring it out for discussion in that context.
