200e

I just want to make sure I understand.

 Is it correct that the 222e can only be properly installed in a 12 or
18 cabinet?

Also since as I understand it, say you have a 6 unit boat, which I
take is more or less the center boat in the 18 unit cabinet. So would
it be practical at a later time to modify say a 6U boat to form an 18
unit cabinet? (or a 4 into a 12?)

sort of. the idea is that the touch sensor must be flat (you wouldn't
want to play it any other way), and the single panel with the optical
sensor should be upright and pointing at you. installing in a cabinet
is by far the most convenient way to achieve this, and don has spent a
lot of time calibrating the x/y/z ranges and curves to make the most
sense in this configuration.

you could probably devise a way to do this with a rack system but it
sounds like a pain to me.

i suppose it would also be possible to put the optical sensor flat, so
that it is looking straight up, and then wave your hands above it...
but bear in mind that the sensor's  vision is cone-shaped, so stepping
back from it changes he z output in a linear fashion while mapping the
x-y output to a larger gestural space. i suspect it might be weird to
work with this if the cone was flipped on its back, because you'd be
sort of reaching into the side of the cone, rather than into its
"mouth"...

sure. although in practice it might be more efficient to trade up to a
cabinet and reinstall your modules.

Hi Nicholas,

The 222e is best installed in a 12 or 18 cabinet.  We can easily install a 6 unit boat in a cabinet.  Or we can trade it in at full value on a 12 cabinet. 

Best wishes,

Don Buchla
