If a patchbay were to be developed, i personally would also like to see a
few mid ports on either side (directly wired, no electronics) to carry the
midi cables through form the back of the rack to the a112 and the like.

But then i dont have a midi patchbay, which would serve the same purpouse.

Adding full midi cv cabablities, would surely be a little close to the
mcv24
