This is a great Idea! Something like the cases that hold the stand alone Oberheim SEM and Mini Sequencer. Just the power supply needed. The metal work cold be made cheaply without the euro-rails and with threaded holes instead to cut cost. Or even the sliding-bolt-in-the- rail ap

Most sequencers can convert controller event to notes but the problem is in the programming of the note on and off events which are not included in the continuous MIDI stream provided by boxes like the A-192. I guess one could make the CC events go between a high level to a very
