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...)
