depends on the content of your purse ;-)

2 Joysticks (one autocentered, one without centering springs),
Theremins,
Light controlled CV
1 Comparator A-167 and 1 digital logic A-166 to control triggers
Slewlimiters
Ribboncontroller...

I have made the lower half of one of my portable cases into a  
controller only section. I have a joystick (a AS unit bought before  
Doepfer offered one) a custom panel with large pushbutton switches  
providing manual gates, some LFOs and envelope generators and some  
switch panels. Basically a good idea if you are heading towards a  
live-type setup is to make a bunch of push button and toggle switch  
panels and maybe some panels with large throw faders in them that can  
be patched to anything. I suggested a mod/pitch bend wheel panel a  
while back and the poll had positive results so maybe those will be  
made and would be a great addition. That is one of the best things  
about analogue synths - it is very easy to make controllers. I once  
made a ribbon controller out of some 1/2" recording tape stretched  
over a bare PCB. I once made a performance controller from some old  
mercury switches taped into a ball. Surplus stores are your friends  
here.  Old gear there will give you ideas.

If you want to see old electronic cases turned into the most  
beautiful sound boxes ever - check out the stuff done at Folktek -

VERY cool stuff.
