Me too .. but you know what I want?  A regular keyboard with, instead  
of 50 or so knobs, mod wheels extending the entire back-edge of the  
device .. you know, just take the mod-wheel concept and use the back- 
edge of the keyboard as the primary control surface - so with my right  
hand I could be playing a line, and with my left hand, in front of it  
(first hand to the audience), a whole set of wheels to control  
parameters.

This is one of those obvious ideas that I just don't understand why  
nobody has done it yet.  It would do wonders for making keyboards/ 
synthesizers more fun to play, and interesting for the audience.   
Instead of one mod-wheel (or two), 60 or heck .. 88 .. almost one for  
each key, extending along the back edge.

Imagine that!  I think it would rock.  It bums me out I haven't been  
able to experience that yet, but I'm sure we might see it some day ..
