Hi Marlowes,

I'm sure you got some ideas for things to put behind this front panel ... :)
it could be racks ( 1 unit expanders like U220 ),
control buttons,
build in amplifier and speakers ?

( the Waldorf Zarenbourg )

Pablo's dual controller is very nice an inspiring.

Can't wait to know / see what you'll come with.

Cheers,
F.

looks like Count Dracula could have a comfy nights sleep inside that cabinet! Can't wait to see the finished product - it's going to be quite something to behold :-) does it have a name yet?
And now for something completely different...

looks very cool indeed, but how much will that beast weigh when you're done stuffing it with electronics and keys? we're not getting any younger and carrying these things around not getting any easier.

unless of course you will be adding some helium ballons as accessories!

Time for a teaser ... 8-)

I'm planning a review video so I can show off all the possibilities. You can't imagine ... an Electro will look pale next to this WONOK3!

Yes, it's totally OK if you call me "Mr Awesome"!

The keyboard looks pretty cool, but I like the bike even more!
