Layout ideas

Worked it down to these two layouts pretty much, give or take a few tweaks and swaps. The top one would need a deeper case, the one below more likely to go into a keyboard/guitar flight case. I need to keep playing around but I'm closing in now that I'm taking into account space for cables, ventilation, power blocks that kind of thing. Before I was focussing on the units with just a massive pile of cables behind.

Btw the Kaos missing from the top picture was just a mistake, it would sit on top of the EMX-1 as in the lower pic. Neither pic contains all the cables, as some are still in the post.

Not quite sure how I'm going to hold the gear in place inside the case, and still have it so I can pop the gear in/out easily (e.g. for that 323 the configs shown here block access to the memory card slot). The single EMX-1 case that came with it uses foam, that's one idea, cut out the shapes to fit, not sure if things might overheat though with it all jammed in.

Anyway, as and when I set things up like this I'm having a dabble with the sounds, seeing what's comfortable, how it might hang together sonically not just physically. It's certainly different and it is taking some getting used to, but at this time I'm just juggling demo patterns and sounds to get a feel for it. I'm so used to using a DAW or just using a single piece of kit at a time offline, I might have over complicated this for a hardware/live newbie, we'll see. Nothing wrong with being out of your comfort zone.
