Time for me to jump in on the Form Factor... How about something like this: http://www.blacet.com/
It's the smaller of the modular synths but Blacet can provide the racks and a VERY quiet power supply (+/- 15V). The benefit to this is, the module can be as wide as it needs to be... we can use PCB material or aluminum for RF shielding, and it all fits into a nice rackmount enclosure. Think SKB case and we're good to go. "Modular" had been around for a long time. This is "one" example of how to make it work. MOOG had another form factor (larger but same concept). Why not focus on "height" first... (width can always be accommodated) and features?
I have many unbuilt PICTIC II's and now I'm questioning why as it seems the project went dead pretty quick as there hasn't been much discussion about it. I really thought there would be more (same with the "Small DMTD project").
Another project when there is already the PICTIC II and the Small DMTD project? Really?
But, my suggestion for a Form Factor is *anything* that we can come up with a common chassis (like the Blacet design) and have a place to openly discuss the project without it getting lost in the NOISE that has become so common lately on this list.
