Aha, I see, space is a factor. Well, not for me now that I
finished my studio of 67m2 ;-)<br>

Anyway, did you ever compare the "sound" of different brands? Did
you take that into account also? <br>
I understand your view on DIY. For me (at that time) it was the
only way to ever get a modular synth. Today I would maybe do it
differently.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I went with Euro because of the reasons you
suggested but also because of the functional density - to get
the same functionality in MOTM, I would have required a much
larger setup. Also, I don't like to DIY (though I may DIY my
new case if I can find the rails reasonably priced). MOTM is
much more suited to people who will DIY their own cabinets and
power systems than Euro is.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>About the switching power supplies. A few years back now
TipTop Audio and a few others released buss boards that do
some kind of magic that I don't fully understand to keep the
power clean. Also, while you can use any old laptop PSU with
their buss boards, its recommended (and widely followed) that
you need to use higher quality PSUs from Cincon (?). I have
one on my modular and I don't have any issues with the Goike
case that uses it. </div>

<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">I don't have a ponytail,
but do have a curved wooden cabinet. This is the only
way to get 4 rows of MOTM size modules on top of each
other. I DIY'ed my cases. (4 cabinets for less than
50euro. If you want to include the PSU's you'll meed to
add another 200euro for 4 x 2A +/-15V Power One PSU's)<br>
<br>
I do like my wall of modules. Need a VCA, there is
always one in front of you ;-) You just need to make
sure that you know your modules. Once that is fixed,
more is better/fatter ;-)<br>
<br>
What I find strange is that the monorocket case is
fitted with a switching power supply. <br>
<br>
Apart from being cheap, small and the massive amount of
modules, what are the other reasons you guys went for
euro/frac format?<br>

<div>To me the buchla 200e case is like the perfect

<div>Wanted to ask you, were you happy
with the monorocket? I originally was
looking to do a more console setup like
3 Pittsburg cell 90's, but have heard
not so great things about the Pitts
cases. The modules need to connect
directly to the ribbon cable (no cable
in between,) the hp sizing is slightly
off (a bit too narrow when filled up
using non Pitts modules and t
he wood sides,) and some random quality
issues. There are a good amount of
people getting on with them but at the
end of the day they aren't exactly cheap
and not sure I want to take a chance. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At first I didn't like the "road
case" idea but it's growing on me as an
all in one solution. </div>

<div>This case is really nice as you
can see in the pictures. </div>
<div>This one has a universal power
supply that can handle anything
and uses TipTop bus boards. I
can't remember the specs off hand,
but it's handled everything I've
put in it. </div>

</div>
<div>Want both cases? Ill knock
another $50 bucks off.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will be aggressively looking
to sell these in January after my
bonus comes through but want to
get a buyer lined up now. One
catch is I don't want to ship them
until the new case arrives. Big
City Music as a couple in stock,
but if they sell out Ill have to
go custom order and that could
take some weeks.</div>
