Re: FCB0101 vs FC-200 vs ?

I'd love something that was modular in design, whereby you connect 
everything together how you want.

    - Transport bar(s) separately designed for the EDP/Repeater
    - Different configurations of switch boards and multiple pedal boards
    - Expansion boards/CSV triggers etc. etc.
    - Multiple Midi I/O modules

Think of a lego set, or scalelectrix, and you'll get an idea of what I 
mean. All these interconnected by, lets say USB... I think that would 
allow up to 256 modules connected on one single hub.

The core controller unit would contain an OS, fast CPU and about 
128/256MB Flash memory....

Plug the controller to a Mac/PC via USB, and the unit shows up in 
graphical form on the screen. You click a trigger/event/cycle/whatever 
that you want to create, and using either a menu prompt system or a 
simple but powerful and logical programming language, be able to insert 
as many CC/PC/Note/anything commands in there as I need..... Click save, 
and the controller board is updated with the new setup.

But then I'm dreaming..... :-)
