Re: AW: [Doepfer_a100] Monster case, standard case, ... opinions wanted

2008-03-03 by partlydrone

that's extremely good, a standard suitcase sized one would definitely
tempt me, although the silver robot stuff in general isn't my thing.
very pleased to see the buff brown of the low cost suitcase, would be
truly great to see this kind of thing in that kind of material, ~80hp
wide, would be class. 

and yes, if you're going to build these you really need to sort out
that capacitative touchplate controller for the ultimate faux
buchla/serge feel...
