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...) Chad.
