  • In this video I make a eurorack modular synth case with a built in LED screen on the back. I also give some helpful information about wiring up a switching power supply to LEDs and Eurorack bus boards.
    It took a long time to make, but was a lot of fun spending time with my dad and learning more about DIY electronics.
    All background music was made on this modular synth. Primary modules used are -
    Mutable Instruments Plaits
    Mutable Instruments Edges
    Mutable Instruments Grids
    Bastl Cinnamon Filter
    2hp Kick and Hat
    Zvex Lofi Junky
    Hexinverter Mutant Hot Glue
    Makenoise Rosie
    Makenoise Richter Wogglebug
    Rack specs - 9U 168hp
    Screen - 64x192 = 12288 pixels
    LED controller - LongGreat TF-QS2N

    This is actually a really great ‘Eurorack intro for the guy who throws his instruction manuals away’ video, modest budget, and you have an extremely unique gimmick with that LED array! Gosh Darn Golly, Id say that’s the sweetest DIY case I would’ve ever dreamed of. I know that the acrylic material isn’t cheap, but the efforts and work you put in yourself probably made the project a great quality time spent with your father. Priceless!

    First off, my jaw is on the floor over that build. Great work, to the last detail. .
    If you’re not already aware, video eurorack is in its prirme right now. LZX Industries, , brownshoesonly, sleepy circuits, BPMC come to mind. I’m sure if you reach out to LZX, they could offer knowledge into your issue. It will involve, I’m sure, a different controller and/or a media server to interface. Once you do set it up, the sky is the limit in terms of how your music can interact with that video screen. Cheers and have fun 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️

      My thoughts exactly. I never had a dad like that so I hope he knows how lucky he is :-)
      P.S. I wonder if I could borrow his dad from time to time????

    Hey, awesome build, please, please can we see the populated version in use?

    What you'll also notice is the 65B PSU has 5v, V2 and V3. This indicates the PSUs primary is 5v and the +-12v are secondary, you would have been better off buying 2 x 12v PSUs and running them in series to get you +-12v. The 65B can create a lot of noise and heat if you don't use the 5v or add a dummy load to that rail.

    Este Case, funciona a Leña o a Vapor ? funciona con Gasolina o con Pilas ? pues en ninguna parte del Video, aparece si le pusieron coneccion a la corriente. No vi ningun enchufe.

    i do feel 2 lcd screens could have given the same effect and you could have real time video via usb or hdmi /
    / i think that LZX Industries Memory Palace
    supports hdmi or dvi

    Any link to the bus board? I'm only missing that part for that case and I can't seem to find some prebuilt ones.

      Don’t have a link handy but they’re from modularsynthlab - they offer different combos of power bricks and bus boards to fit many different size skiffs/cases. Just a quick google of “modularsynthlab” should give you their homepage/Etsy shop

    120hp is still fine. anything beyond is uncomfortable.
