hello,

<< I would prefer the controller to be in a seperate
self-contained 19" rack enclosure, eg 2-3 U high,
rather than as a "module" for G3 or G6 racks >>

I disagree because that would exclude people who don't
rack their Doepfer. I have a big Analogue Systems
8500x modular and then for Doepfer I use stacked SKB
cases, of the basic system type because they are not
so deep. In 95% of the situation I prefer Doepfer over
the Asys. But the 8500 has a cool wooden case with an
angled bottom and I've love to stick a TKB in there
with the Doepfer plug adaptors and it'd take up the
entire bottom row (equivalent of 1 6u g6) with the
keyboard and control section...and *then * I'd buy
another 1 or 2 tkbs for my Doepfer section off to the
left. If the TKB was racked then I would probably
instead buy one total "just to have it" and it'd be a
pain to play my modular from my main rack.

<< "Our idea is to make the housing 19" but without
fixed 19" mounting flanges. The mounting flanges will
be separate and at the housing will be different
threads so that the keyboard can be mounted in
different angles and distances in the 19" rack (e.g.
horizontal, 15/30/45/90 degrees) >>

That sounds like a good idea, gives some variety, but
to clarify will that allow mounting in a typical g6 I
think by doing so would increase sales. For instance,
in the rack scenario described above I would only buy
one. If I had 8 external cases, 4 side by side with
another, and then an Asys to the right of that...well
I'd prob buy at least 3 or 4 to use as various
triggers.

Thanks, Shawn
