How are people with Pulp Logic lunch box cases liking theirs? I’m considering getting one to stick Teletype in with Morphagene and Mimeophon. The Pulp Logic cases still appeal to me more than the newer options from Intellijel and 4ms since they have a proper lid that can closed patched and look pretty sturdy, and they seem to be deeper than the Palette cases / Pods. Also the Pulp Logic tiles seem to be a pretty good value for the money. Anything else I should consider with my comparison? I want something I can stick in a backpack and bring with me on public transit to play a grimy basement show.

Any thoughts would be appreciated :•)

X-posting this because it is relevant here and I wasn’t sure which would be the better fit…

Wondering about solutions for carrying a 104HP skiff over to a friend’s place, etc.

#585

I think it’s been reported that the 4u bag works nicely with the MN skiff!

#586

Does anyone have recommendations for a travel bag for the Make Noise 104HP skiff?

Just something that I can put the skiff in and walk to a friend’s, hop on the train (not during rush hour, lol) or in a cab and keep the bag on my lap or between my legs.

The Intellijel 4U bag is of course the type of thing I am looking for, though I do not know how it accommodates a 3U skiff. Does anyone have experience using it for other skiffs? I might just use bubble wrap and the Intellijel bag if nothing better is available.

i briefly had a MN skiff, and would have picked up the moog theremini bag for it, as it was more readily attainable than the IJ, and it’s universally regarded as a perfect fit. here’s one report:

other reports on MN skiff usage: exterior features, photo with skiff inside, and it works for NYC subway travel.

the IJ104 bag will fit the MN skiff while patched, though the picture seems to indicate it will be a much looser fit than the theremini bag, if left unpatched.

i uh went big when i was playing out and traveling with my 3u and got something like this:

I think mine is the large and it fits a 3u/104hp nicely and has room for yr socks and shirts. maybe overkill for your use case?

#589

Thanks for the responses @ioflow and @baleen!

Decided to go with the Theremini Gig Bag… Can always just use my Tendrils cables if I want to travel with it patched.

Okay–question for folks that have built cases using the Doepfer DIY kit. I built a vertical one about 2 years ago and just left the bottom of it open so I could connect the power cord. I want to rebuild my case so it can be switched between vertical and horizontal, and be closed, but I’m not sure how I would connect the power cord. Do you have to get a short extension sort of cord to mount to the enclosure that connects to the internals of the PSU itself?

I’ve been using this to hold my Intellijel 7u performance case next to my desk or next to my drum set: Its a guitar amplifier stand from On Stage Stands. Works perfectly! (Don’t mind the mess, I moved recently)

Possibly a silly question, but how are you maintaining that angle?

#593

It sounds sketchier than it is, but I’m just leaning it at my preferred angle on the back supports of the stand. They’re rubberized and not metal so there is zero sliding!

I’d like to place a 48 hp case above and behind my Intellijel 7U. Anyone have a good suggestion (reasonably cheap) for a tabletop stand for this?

Been looking at microphone stands which might be a solution… I am willing to mod the case a bit (a Pittsburgh cell48).

Hive Mind: How essential are rails to a case? will their absence really effect the ground/ Heat ventilation of the modules? Additionally, what are the best nonmetal materials for a built specifically, for minimal noise and ventilation.

I use the TipTop Audio rails in my builds. I use a uZeus (boost) for power which is designed to use the metal rails to aid in cooling, although mine has never gotten hot. If you were using an internal supply, you might be able to screw the modules into wood, for example. Haven’t tried this but it would keep the cost down.

I have a good amount of woodworking experience so I use wood, either local Black Walnut or Maple from our family farm. I always make a complete box, because gigging is essential for me. Hope this helps!

When I started with Eurorack I used a bamboo silverware tray with a couple of pieces of pine along the top and bottom edges inside to screw the modules into. I had a couple of blank panels next to my uZeus to (maybe?) help with cooling a bit.

To prevent getting sawdust in the modules or scratching them up, I marked the screw hole positions, drilled pilot holes, started and backed out the wood screws, then screwed the modules down… that was okay once, but moving modules was really tedious and I quickly decided to get TipTop Z-Rails instead.

Does anyone happen to know if a reverb tank can be mounted in an Intellijel performance case without interference from the busboard?

#599

Survey answer: 30-45 degrees.

I’m looking for a solution to mount two Submodularsystems cases vertically like shown. (No worries: I’m not playing the system like this.) Ideally the stand would be portable/collapsable, as shallow as possible, and nothing should protrude in the front. I thought about 3dwaves, but it wouldn’t be portable and they don’t have any dual tier Eurorack stands.

The easiest would be to just align the two cases horizontally, but this looks less playable to me.

Angling both cases slightly towards each other looks strange and would leave less space in front for grid, arc and other instruments, but feels more playable.

Has any of you gone through this already and found a satisfactory solution?

#601

Not portable, but I’ve been using wall-mounted ladder hooks for upright case segments.

I’ve been researching solutions for a similar setup. I’m not sure if there’s anything that will allow you to stack the top case so close to the bottom case, but I’ve been eyeing the flat packable interlocking https://loci.life/ stands for at least getting part of the way there.
