Post pics of your euro setup!

Finally got a rack for the all (mostly) 2hp system I put together. I have some fun plans for 'decorating' this rack to give it a more aged look (and of course cover up the open spaces in front) and add some lighting features, as it has a nice open grill in the back.

Finally got around to rejigging my set-up to add in my recently constructed modular. Quite pleased with it.

Yup, that’s why.

Every Gould case I see is so nice.

[Tumulishroomaroom]

I'm moving to a new space soon and I'm tempted to consolidate my two cases in one bigger one made by Gould at some point. Very beautiful work and cases/systems @Hanz.

That's beautiful!!! Great little AS system and that is definitely a beautiful case you have it in.

Just finished a 2nd large case to consolidate 3 Mantis cases....also moved everything from one room to another, been a lonnnnng month!full.jpg

My humble 2x104 contribution!



I have about 6+2 hp left, and I'm not too sure which route to go now - on the one hand, I want to bring more filtering diversity (I love the 2144 but its resonance tends to be a bit on the quiet side), but I also wouldn't mind more drum sources to complement the SSF Percussion's lack of satisfactory kicks. I'm fine with the current situation in terms of attenuverters/offsets (Cold Mac + Sinc Defero usually do the job well enough), but if you have any utility ideas, feel free to point them out!

That case is already very well dialed, so it is honestly hard to point out any obvious deficiencies. Nice job!

Perhaps a couple-HP-worth each of buff mults and adders?

A narrow filter with good contrast from the 2144? There are some great threads around re: small filters, so well-worth a search. And/or some MG searches filtering to a max of, say, 6 HP? Do one pass through sorted by newness, and another pass sorted by popularity. You’d likely have a solid shortlist pretty quickly.

As for the Entity, you could probably fit two, maybe even three, smaller percussion modules in that space if you aren’t happy with that module. Since it has to be said: BIA?

Thanks! Hehe, actually I'm a big fan of my SSF, except for kicks. I quickly fell in love with its short rim hits, long noise snares, and the internal drive affecting the white noise is lovely. Controlled by the MD it really makes wonders. It's just not really designed for kicks, so at the moment I mostly use either sampled kicks in the disting, or Plaits' great kicks (albeit slightly too clean maybe). I was considering the BIA for a while because of its amazing workflow and features:hp ratio, but its sound color just isn't for me I think. I was actually thinking of the Pico Drum2, which looks more than decent for a supporting role in a drum voices ensemble. With the disting's dual sampler and the SSF, you end up with a nice 4-voices drum combo, blending different methods (digital + analog synthesis + samples). If I do this and add a small 2hp mixer for my drums, I still have room for a 2hp MMF filter on the second row, which to my ears sounds alright on demos, but filters obviously need to be played with to be gauged properly.

Thank you for reminding me about adders by the way! I still tend to see them as octave switchers and find it hard to justify the HP (plus there is always this good old disting if it's ever needed), but I may be missing out on some fun experiments.

2014 i sold everything (in the pic you just see 50% of the whole gear):

i also had a little modular:

then in 2019 i returned with modular only, now i am broke but happy AF, workflow is great, exactly what i want

Another kick option would be to use a VCF, either the one in there or add another.

Thanks! Actually the 2144 makes great short kicks in self-oscillation with an exponential decay. The BIA was on my wish list for a while, but its sound just doesn't click with me for some reason. I am probably going to fill the last bits of free HP by getting a small dual/stereo filter (the Shakmat Dual Dagger seems promising) and a little Pico Drum2, but no rush for now. I am going to try to limit my use to this case and my small happy ending kit for "supporting" modules that I don't necessarily always need, hopefully the GAS is cured... (at least temporarily).

I'm really pleased with the way this case has come together. There's still room for improvement (there always is) but I am extremely happy with this setup.

[FatKingTubby]

You know, when these pod cases first came out I immediately wrote them off as a pointless waste. But here I am now with my third one and I'm just really liking the basic utility of them. I take a few modules out of the main case to travel with or use as a side-piece to another stand-alone synth. I bring one or two with me to the couch or bed for some learning/manual-focused time. They're great for new modules that you haven't quite figured out a good spot for in the main case yet. And my newest one puts all the intellijel controllers right in front for easy wire/clutter-free access. Yep I guess I'm a pod guy now. Really didn't see it coming..

Looking great too! I can totally see a very good use case for controller-specific pods, like you did with the Planar here.

By happenstance I had 6hp free and decided to add the shortbus, which will work perfectly for routing CV to the Planar's two CV inputs. Not sure I would have thought to do that if I didn't happen to have that open 6hp in the pod.

You could move either of the Intellijel 6 hp modules up to the top, then you'd have 8hp freed up for a filter..... lots of options from Doepfer and others

Finally got my Analogue Systems RS-15 racks upgraded to a proper case...
I figured my trusty Asys system deserved something nicer looking, and found an experienced modular case builder willing to take on a custom job at reasonable price, and even in my direct vicinity!
Wanted to keep the existing power solution, as well as the original aluminium frame dimensions, since certain Asys modules (RS-240 Bode Shifter!) require considerable depth. Finally arrived at this slightly tilted case design, re-using the original RS-15 frame while removing rattly aluminium bits and wrapping in a lovely slab of oiled walnut.

Gould Case Works (https://www.gouldcaseworks.nl) - based near Amsterdam, The Netherlands comes highly recommended.
Really a pleasure working with Rob! Very responsive and collaborative on design - willing to accommodate and try new things while bringing his considerable woodworking experience to arrive at great results.

Beautiful system, and case!
