Build A DIY Case And Power Supply For A Modular Synth CHEAP

A DIY modular synth case and power supply?
This could easily work for eurorack or other standards if you just adjust the dimensions, the power supply will work!

The mentionned un edited power supply build will be on my patreon in the coming days. Aswell as a livestream this weekend!
The backing song is on my Patreon too, from a few months ago, so scroll down and you'll find CHURCH instrumental :).

A link to frequency central POWER DIY, there are also the ones with the power busses already on them!:-

Thanks for all the support, as the above is how i keep this project afloat, as i don't think i'd be able to develop projects like the furby organ and gameboy mega machine otherwise so thanks! :D.

The AC-AC plugs i use!

Always looking for old gear! to mod or conserve in the "museum of everything else" one day :P

“ A NOTE”A quick note I possibly didn’t make clear! The power jack isn’t 240 volts! That would be crazy. It’s wired to a 12v ac wall wart. There’s a link in the description to it!

Sam, I gotta say this is just about my favorite content on YouTube at the moment. You are clearly smart and motivated as hell, and you are enabling aspiring makers and musicians to deepen their craft. You are helping remove financial and mental barriers for people with this channel, and the world needs as much of that as it can get. I can't wait to see what's next.

'Tools are made to be used not to be pretty, even though they do look pretty in their own kind of brutal way'
'No need for measurements because, measurements, we all know, are for crazy people and mathematicians'

Nowhere else can I find such peculiar maxims, keeps me coming back here.

I am so psyched to get into modular and you just gave me the golden ticket. Had no idea I could build this stuff so easily. Thank you so much

Just made an OSB-version of this for only 20 bucks worth of material and it's huge. Expected it to be less easy / way more prone to critical errors. Thank you for yor content. It can be pretty encouraging.

[ThatStarkKid]

Dude, you're a fucking national treasure. I don't know jackshit about this stuff, but you make it interesting to watch and your passion is contagious. You seem like a down-to-earth and chill dude... had me totally cracking up at your simple "AC current, you know, the wavey one?"

Keep it up man! You rock!

[sebastian.martinez]

Okay. This series is probably what's gonna finally make me decide to build my own synth. Thanks Sam!

[jmannUSMC]

This video brings up great memories of when I first got into synth DIY and I watched an MFOS video on building a case. Thanks Sam for continuing to push synth DIY to the masses! i'm sure Ray would be proud!

I want a t-shirt that says "Mesurements are for mathematicians and crazy people"

I was looking for inspiration to build my modular synth. Thanks for you awesome drive !

[maxfrahm]

I was waiting for this series since ever!!!! I want to build a DIY-Mudular by myself and now I'm getting 'help' by the Master of DIY-Modular... I love your

[katerspam]

Let me convert the measurements to US:
Depth: 1/3 of a foot
Height: 3/8 of an arm holding a budweiser
Length: the wingspan of a young american eagle.

You are welcome...

[TRIPPLEJAY]

I need to give you money for your time. Your what I’ve been looking for and your not boring.

I always build my Kosmo cases with backs that can flip open. Held closed with magnets. But I guess for touring that would be too fragile. I mount the power bus system on the floor of the case instead of on the back. I love the way you put these cases together Sam. It's so simple and yet so practical.

[monomakes]

Yea baby! Made my own Eurorack skiffs from MDF and hot glue :)
And used the same PSU supply!!!

[JohnnyCogs]

WOO! I remember seeing some info for a power supply in one of ur zines, ty for the info ur a blessing to the synth community!

You can use screen window framing pieces for the rails as well. It's very inexpensive (about $4 US for a 7ft length), doesn't splinter when you screw your modules in, and is almost the exact same size as a legit pre-drilled Eurorack rail. Once you get your rails into your case just slap the module into the rail space, mark the holes with a permanent marker, use a 2mm bit to drill holes, then screw your modules right on it. It'll be sung the first go, but the screw will tap your hole as you screw it in since aluminum is soft. Hope you enjoy this tip!

So happy to hear an english speaking person speaking in metric... so soothing

[raytheonorion]

I'm pretty sure you have a computer bruv... unless there's a analogue Youtube out there which I have yet to find???

[droptopsalvador]

Awesome video Sam! I would add some little metal latches on the sides of the cabinets so they lock in together when they're set up. It'll cost you practically nothing, too. Keep it up 👍🏽
