before diminishing returns kicks in, presumably? after all, the whole
point is that it's a hardware sequencer, designed for real-time
interaction like an instrument.... look in the photos section- there's
a p3 fashioned after the doepfer modular synths which is 1RU slimmer
than the production rackmount version.

Of course; I'm the guy who said the Cirklon needs to be much bigger in
order to have a better control surface.

I'm just wondering for those who are saying even the P3 isn't quite
portable enough.  Seems like you could build a pretty small P3 (and
yes, I wouldn't be interested in it).

P3 Compact

The Cirklon discussion had me wondering; what is the physically smallest P3 ever built?

The main PCB seems to be the only major size limitation.

My third P3 is fairly small and is the one I use when flying anywhere to 
play.
I *can* imagine a smaller one.
I can also imagine a very large gerbil driving the earth's rotation by 
its wheel.

YMMV

Hey DUnc, yo! I don't worry about quadraplegic drummers if they can give 
me the chaos I crave. Octopussy = ace drummer babe, especially if 
lacking the Moore raised-eyebrow shuffle algorithm. Know what ahm say-in?

etc.

LOL. I know you *can*;^)

I'll let you know ;)
I'm rebuilding mine in a similar style but as small as I can make it.
That won't stop me fitting another UV tube though :)
I think the mem x board will hinder my attempts but I still want one!

Is how it looks presently.
