Sequential circuits samplers

I know this sounds sort of lame being that there is a Prophet 2002,
which is already a rackmount unit...
But, I have a semi-working P2K keyboard I still use & don't need the
keyboard part, but I love the filters, sounds & ease of use.

I've owned the Prophet 2002, Studio 440 & really like the P2K the best.
I use it mainly as a MIDI module & stand alone sampler.
My biggest gripe is in my cramped space it takes up alot of room, it's
so big & heavy!.

I thought it'd be really cool to house the main boards in a 2U rack
mount chassis & then route cable/wires to a new control panel in a
separate compact desk top box.

I have already disassembled mine & am ready to mount the guts & power
supply in a 2U rack I bought (fairly easy).
I'll be building a seperate (smaller) box which will be connected via
multi-conductor cable to the main boards (only 16 pins, easily done
with a DB25).

Anyone done such a thing?

I'm already triggering it via MIDI with the original keyboard assembly
  disconnected.

Isn't that almost exactly what a Prophet 2002 is though??

Sort of...
main thing being, all the P2K controls will be housed in a compact
desktop case.

I forgot the differences between the 2002 & the 2000, but whatever
those may be apply as well.

In any case, we'll see how it goes.

say, if you're really going to rehouse the main voice & memory boards
& make your 2000 into a midi rack/desktop unit, let me know when the
keyboard controller part is liberated. I have a 2000 (& a 2002, as it
goes...) here with a dead keyboard scanner chip. WC can't supply me a
replacement & I'd really like to get my 2000 working again.
this part, afaik, is the only real difference besides the matrix
switches, which are membrane on the 2000 & "proper" switches on the 2002.

duncan.
