Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Heh, heh. That's a nice rendering job but I think that the idea is total 
madness, unless you made it a two rack space unit like the pulse.

I think the most reasonable, doable and inexpensive solution for you 
rackheads is to make a rack enclosure that puts the unit as is, into a rack, 
in much the same way as the rack fit for the Novation Nova.
