Installation is straight forward, everything is on plugs.

I bought small nylon washers to put under the screws that hold the modules in, it protects the modules from damage which I guess only really matters if you decide to sell or trade them to finnicky buyers.
Great tips and info. Thanks.

Midi module would be nice.

External processing is always a plus.

Both.

Impossible to tell at this point but the 22 space system layout seems like a pretty good place to start.
