This brings up something I've been putting a fair amount of thought (but as
yet, not much action) into: a modular controller surface. I'm thinking
about a slant-faced cabinet about the size of a small MIDI keyboard. On the
surface would be (and this is blue sky mode here, haven't been worried
about reality yet) like, 4 joysticks, ~8 trigger buttons, a ribbon
controller, a step sequencer, an input for a Yamaha breath controller, and
maybe a few utility modules, like a CV mixer, inverters, attenuators, etc.
Basically everything but a keyboard! My question to the geniuses of this
list is, if you were building such a thing, what would you include? What
would you leave out?
