3 what by 3 what?
metric?
or imperial nonsense?
that still gives us absolutely no way to tell how big his table is 
but my question is still relevant: 3 meters by 3 meters is simply bigger than 3 feet by 3 feet.
or elbows or whatever nonsense you guys use over there 
(please don´t get triggered, I´m clearly trolling with this ^^ couldn´t resist. no harm intended!)
it´s popular, that´s true. pretty sure it´s not a DIN though
(there actually is a DIN for standard table HEIGHT, though - it´s 76centimeters.)

Lol. My mistake. Units are FEET. Upward builds (max 6 feet) are allowed.
so that´s just below 1 meter x 1 meter if I´m not mistaken…
Assuming you have your recording device / DAW computer / laptop somewhere else, I would go for something like this:
8-16 ch mixer
2-3 FX boxes (could also be pedals for smaller footprint)
drum machine and/or sampler ideally with multiple outputs (octatrack or machinedrum?)
1-2 synth modules (i.e. minitaur for mono and a virus for poly)
1 keyboard synth or midi controller keyboard like a Keystep
pretty generic, but might just fit onto a small table like that, especially if you could rack up 2 or more of the non-keyboard units / go vertical
alternatively, go full-blown modular and get a ginormous cas you can lay flat on that table

Wow. Cheers for that. I didn’t think you could get so much on it. At the moment its just staring at me. Im very tempted to cram it full of switchs/knobs/flasing lights. Square tables need a bit if creativity. Cheers! i will look into those you mention.
well as I said, you CAN get that much onto it.
you just have to pick the right machines… or the right racks / stands.
for example I have 2x Elektron boxes in a stand so they end up taking up just a little more space than 1 single Elektron machine with cables.
and if you don´t need keyboards on your synths they end up taking way less space.
in the 90s there were so many 19" rackmount synths around, a lot of these can still be found for cheap used.
so go vertical when you run out of horizontal space would be my advice
( I live in a really small inner-city apartment that for some reason has 3.50meter high ceilings… so I know a bit about that kind of struggle haha)
This sort of exercise could be relevant for me, as we are expecting a new arrival in May. That means the desk setup I had will move yet again, but this time I have more of a blank slate (albeit a small one) to work with.
60 OP-Z’s obviously!
