      i'm not too picky with synths, more with sequencers but let's go with the synth first
      i think clavia did it with the modulars but...

      id wish they would do a v3, with dual touchscreens ports so the editor is built in and patches can be edited on the hardware itself, live, the other touchscreen being the lemur like control surface

      but i wish something more, like the mc909 meets ableton live
      talking here about something that could replace my whole rig for a tour but i'd still look as busy and everywhere as on the mothership, i figure such a device would be about wide as a 76 keys controler and about deep as a big PA or studio mixer

      dedicated knobs + assignable knobs

      touchscreens for the mixer and editors
      (with built in odularizable synth and fx
      step sequencer, loop recorder

      actually make it live running on dedicated hardware with WAY more controls than the APC (i like the matrix, not nearly enough knobs and faders)

      id go 24 faders wide (and 24 column matrix) with at least 4-5 assign knobs(either mixer functions or instruments1fx functions) per strip, plus 4-6 buttons for solo, mute/other

      either a dedicated touchscreen with lemur like controls or dedicated, modular sets of physical knobs extention (maybe detachable knob/fader boxes using OSC or stuff so you can have dedicated everything for particular devices, and use the 5 assign knobs for other less tweak demanding synth/fx)

      each button and fader with lcd displays of the functions

      8 10 rows of matrix is probably enough at a time

      also a 16 step sequencer with running lights to do quick alteration to drum patterns (with auto "zoom" to get 1/32nd or more precise), id go oled for the step sequencer, so the button displays the current step number (4, 4-1/32) and/or the sound its playing

      touchscreen could be used to do kaoss like effects, multi touch control surface
      pug in a display and usb key/mouse and use live on it as a DAW for pre prod of the live set/ studio work

      anyway, im thinking too much, and unless i have millions for r&d, its a big pipe dream

      because i owned it
      at first it was mostly because i only had 1 computer, and playing live with it (reason+live) it wasn't performant enough to record audio and video+playing the set

      i already owned a good bunch of the hardware from various projects, i just tore down unused pedalboards, live racks and studio racks to harvest all suitable hardware

      i was also finding myself never completing anything in my DAW, hundreds of 8 bar loops in reason, unmixed/barebone rock compositions and stuff, working with a SUPER limited sequencer allowed me to complete tracks for once

      ive been collecting drum samples from many sources since 1994 or so, some are from rebirth, classi drum machines, i sampled some from albums, fruity loops demo club kit, the built in ESX ones, some i even created myself in stomper

      i don't really care, and i don't really have the time to dance or be a showoff, there is always controls to tweak

      non j'ai beaucoup de machines parce que chacune fait ce quelle a a faire au lieu de faire otut croche 200 affaires

      ya pas de meilleur, ya celui que tu es confortable avec :)
      j'utiise Logic apres des années avec cubase pour mes productions studio
      Si j'utilisais des logiciels en spectacle, j'utiliserais surement ableton Live avec des custom MAX patches comme TR style sequencer
