  1. doesn't the top section of the 222e need to be in the middle of the 222e base? pretty sure it does.

  4. What I said over on the Buchla 200e list was:

    Modules are easy to move with a few exceptions: the 225e, the 227e and the 222e. These have back panel connections, so they pretty much need to stay in the boat in which you ordered them. They can be moved within that boat, but moving them to a different boat requires moving things screwed to the back of the boat.

    As far as your layout goes, if it was my system I think I would change it to something like:
    227, 210, 266, 222, 225
    281, 292, 291, 256, 250
    261, 261, 261, 222 keys

    Some of the logic behind this:

    The audio is located on the left half of the system, so it won't need to be patched cross-system to the mixer.

    If the 281 is to the left of the 292, shorting plugs can be used instead of patchcords.

    The 222 brains wants to sit in the top panel, above the keys.

    I'm not 100% sure that the 227, the 225 and the 222 can be in the same boat. I think there might be some restrictions based on back panel connections. If this is true, I guess I would swap the positions of
    the 225 and 256.
