The poll had very many different suggestions in wich format it will be done, module or standalone keyboard short or long etc... I would personally like it to be integrated in my system ie. module format. But wouldn`t the best way to implement this be to make it both, that it works in module format (without a keybord "case") and in stand alone (with keyboard "case"). How does this sound like?

Having a keyboard-like interface standing upright in front of you seems a bit awkward and against nature to me. Also, your system [case] needs to be firmly attached to something, since you'd be applying quite a lot of pressure to the keys... Unless you would put this module in the base of a Monster Base. Having it as a regular module would also restrict its dimensions a bit, no ? How many people are willing to sacrifice like half of a (expensive) portable case to a touch keyboard ? But if Doepfer can make it so that you can place this module anywhere you'd like and offer an optional "flat keyboard casing", fine by me. _g

There are alot of us who don`t have the expencive doepfer or asys cases but diy cases . I tend to not have the case upright but in a "buchla" slyle case, and the keyboard on the lowest row, something like this. http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/buchla/buchla200.jpg The diy route can be a very cheap way to mount your modules. -Wille --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, "Guy Drieghe D." <guy@...> wrote:
