104 hp inspiration

[Auguste]

My 104 isolation rig 🤸🌿 set up for looping/manipulating field recordings, waiting on a nearness panning mixer to fill the 3hp gap. The last 6hp is gonna be filled with an SPO or a quad attenuator + a Crow at some point soon!

I put this together out of spare modules in the modules drawer and a Moffenzeef Swarm.

Paragraph of explanation of modules.

It contains a vast number of timbres and produces noises and squelches not dissimilar from a Benjolin (may that circuit be blessed). By sequencing the rack with square wave clock wreckers (Yep & Swarm), one ensures unpredictability beyond the usual sample and hold. Arpitecht provides musicality to the entire operation so events-in-time never stray too far out of the ozone or atmosphere. The digital / analog admixture of the Piston Honda (fed into a Meng Qi DPLPG) & Erica Bassline (which module I believe is underrated) provide a hot-bed or green-house for unusual sonics to copulate and grow. I command the Tea Kick to produce bass lines or square waves. I employ the Equation Composer’s many applications as needed, especially the hit-per-gate drum machine app. The Richter Wogglebug sends out its traditional chaotic vibrations in tentacles which wrap around the entire system, punctuated by slips and steps from the Clep Diaz. We must mention the Quad Attenuator without which the chaos manufactured by myself could get out of control and leave planet Earth. We must mention the excellent Doepfer mixer which has been with me since the beginning.

This is the current configuration of the case I keep on my desk for easy access and quick noodling around. I really need to start using it more than I currently do.

With the new Disting EX out, I’m updating my skiff

After a few false starts, I think this will do nicely. Much browsing of this thread has been incorporated in its planning. The final piece was Earthsea showing up on Ansible giving me a six-voice poly.

In part, this is a recreation of some aspects of the Lyra 8, which my hands are too dry to properly play. While it is not an exact replica it does reach a lot of the same places I liked going with the Lyra. I find the spacing on the Lyra8fx greatly improved by swapping in sifam-knobs, beyond just having a consistent tactile response across the instrument.

Thanks to the 4ms wave recorder, I don’t need to go near a computer. I run BIM (sometimes) and BAM (more often) from Veils and back into the recorder for some added space/ambience. Add an eKalimba, and that picture could go in the tiny studio thread.

Wanted to fire this thread up on news that intellijel has received their 104hp palettes https://forum.intellijel.com/t/updated-104-4u-case/1769/23

Definitely think this is a great size, especially with the 1u for utilities. Could get a 1u O_C, noise tools, and quadratt with some room for a VCA or two depending what one does in terms of outs

[anxietymachine]

that’s great! you can briefly see the case at the beginning of this video, looks like they added a third mult (maybe?) compared to the 62hp case. https://www.instagram.com/p/CH11vwdB7-c/

[crunchydrums]

So pumped for this, apparently they have already shipped to dealers and should be available imminently. Here’s the link:

Updated 104 4U Case

[Cloud]

Intellijel Palette Case 104HP x 4U with Power - Silver

High spec 60 Watt power supply capable of powering up to 12 modules with +12 V output at 1500 mA, -12 V output at 1500 mA and +5 V output at 500 mA.
$425.93 USD

Only 12 modules? It must be a mistake…

[wm.wragg]

Intellijel have confirmed the 104 has 24 headers:

The Palette 62 has 12 power headers and the Palette 104 has 24 power headers.

[crunchydrums]

Agree. I was going to get one contingent on a lid, but kind of bummed they’re just coming out with a plastic one in the spring. I don’t see why not go for the metal cover like the 7u cases.

[bc3]

Price point I’m assuming

[crunchydrums]

Fair. This is pretty close to something approaching the isms functionality/hp considering ansible can cover for the original trio, and if you pick the right 1u modules. And they’re making a carrying case too. Great option no doubt.

That these clearly splendid cases are just a couple of millimetres too shallow for me mungoes would be quite vexing were it not such a relief to be able to nip this gas non-negotiably in the bud. I guess I’m sticking with my legacy 104 HP 4U.

[simonvanderveldt]

Are the mungos that deep? One of the advantages of the palette cases with regards to module depth is that there’s no powersupply or busboard eating up vertical space, so the full depth is always available for all modules.

(disadvantage is that plugging in ribbons is a bit of a pain )

[Net]

I gather the depth is 45.5 mm. Mungoes are 48 (according to MG – I haven’t measured them myself but I know John edits the MG pages himself). A pity as I’d love to use those embedded mults for e.g. d0 feedback patches.

my moog 60hp case made a lot of sense when I was putting it in a backpack and using it during my ferry commute, but I might just be remote indefinitely now, so this is tempting

[coreyr]

Thinking very similarly about my trogotronic case lately, when traveling a bunch it was nice to have everything in a very sturdy case with a handle that easily goes into an overhead compartment with no second thought. However its tot the most ergonomically pleasing case with the way that I like to patch and play at my dest at home, just a little too deep and the lip around the outside gets in the way of my touch controller. While I haven’t been all that interested in buying a bunch of 1u modules, the thinner profile is very tempting, either that or grabbing a second pod 64x.

[simonvanderveldt]

Hmm, that’s indeed a bit deep. Still might be an idea to measure them yourself. I recently built a shallow case and whilst several modules weren’t supposed to fit according to modulargrid they easily fit in reality. This also included modules with specs from the manufacturer, although none of them from Mungo. Maybe you’re lucky and they do fit
