Speaking of cabinets, what form factor are people planning on using for
large systems? I had planned on the Moog IIIC style bottom cabinet, 10U by
26U, with one or two 5U high top cabinets (not including rows for Larry's
Magic Buss(tm). But I don't know how ergonomic that is. I'm kind of leaning
more toward the U shape now, where you go 5 rows tall, with the top rows
slanting back towards you. This is like some of the large Serge or Buchla
systems I've seem (or the Luther Moog). It's easier to reach stuff at the
top and bottom, but almost requires one large cabinet to hold everything.
Maybe you could build a 16U wide by 25U high U shaped cab, then a second
identical one for expansion.

Am I dreaming? Probably, yes. But I envision a 12 VCO system, with 2 step
sequencers, 10 spaces reserved for a vocoder, etc. etc. and it looks REALLY
good on paper!
