Features for K3/0 - Wish list

marcelo


Hello
On the topic of the announced K3/0, I thought about putting together an unrequested
wish-list of the desired features, in my view.
1 - Form Factor
1.1  Wish: Small size and weight, a full size K3 front panel, but just an inch
or so deep.
             Reason:
Portability
2 - Functionality
2.1 Wish - Full K3 front panel functions
           Reason - Full experience
of operating the K3
2.2 Wish -Speaker on the back
            Reason - Like the
K3, possibility of monitoring with the headphones unplugged
Wish - No RF circuitry
            Reason - Cost,
power consumption and size. If one needs RF, there's already a bare-bones K3
3 - Connections
3.1 Wish - A TTL-level RJ11 Connection
           Reason - Full and
straightforward integration to the Remoterig unit
3.2 Wish - RS232 port
          Reason - Second option. Less
straightforward, but larger compatibility.
3.3 Wish - Power supply from the Remoterig via RJ11
          Reason - No need for a
separate PS.
 
This is what I managed to think of, so far. Any other ideas?
