    This reminds me of the several times I've got the case to rule all cases, put a load of gear in it, celebrated, tried to single handedly get it into the car, cried, taken everything out, got rid of the case. I've done this more than once.

    If you put over-centre clamps on the sides you could bolt the whole lot together and avoid any health & safety issues

    Quite honoured to have tinkered with the prototype keyboard on the stage with you at synth east.. I'm glad my grubby little mitts didn't get to spoil the fancy new black keys. Big ups!!!

    • @Davestitch

      That's actually a pretty smart combo of cirklon and beatstep

  • @artemisargent8623
    @artemisargent8623 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    If you take a page out of road case manufacturer's books, or the whole books, you could see if you could put some butterfly latches around the edges of the synth cases, and latch the two together, closing the whole thing up. You could also get some aluminium flashings for around the edges of the cases to make them look better. Maybe also try to modify that idea and make a cover or multiple covers for the main case. Maybe even put the whole thing on wheels at the bottom.

    Hi Sam,
    The one change that I would recommend is moving the power plate to the inside of the case. That way the cutout protects the connectors from being damaged.

    Sam you’re fast becoming a legend : ) GAZAM - a brilliant match up of you both for Synth East. Think you could have reduced the weight of the keyboard housing by about a third by using 1/2” (12.7mm) plywood. Black/white keys look sooo good. Luv the ‘sport commentators’ bits. And you are doing an amazing job of the church organ project.

    Sam! I have watched some YT videos recently with roll-playing instruments -- the American Fotoplayer and Marenghi Carnival Organ (playing Queen tunes!) -- have you thought about creating a roll-to-synth (MIDI) interface and playing vintage music/piano rolls through your electronics????

    I used to have a heavy duty multi polar "industrial" connector for my car's boombox to be able to take it out(for security). think it was 16 poles, it was kinda huge used in the car making industry to couple or uncouple machines and their control lines.

    You need an ambulance gurney to move your console thingamajiggy. They're made to put the wheels up smoothly as you shove them into the back of the meatwagon, and then they fold back down again when you arrive at the hospital for your hernia. I think they are even designed to roll down steps with the slightest push. I don't know how they work. Magic, I guess. Looks like they are abundant on surplus and reseller sites.

  • @audeon_visual

    This is really inspiring me to get into DIY woodworking. I find that so many of my issues with workflow come down to ergonomics and case flexibility. If I were able to construct my own case, it would solve a lot of headaches.
    Seeing your approach to modding Cosmo 2's lower third is giving me the inspiration to do something similar.
    Thanks Sam!

      Once you choose to stick to punk-level aesthetics, you'll never be afraid of a joint 1 cm out of alignment anymore. Add a few more screws to pull the thing in place and that's it 🙂

    • @1pcfred
      @1pcfred ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It can be surprising how useful woodworking is with a disparate variety of other activities. Being able to knock together just the box you need at any given time is remarkably handy. Mostly woodworking does boil down often to making boxes too.

  • @heckseven

    nice! i've been thinking of making something similar, but the base i already made works for now. It's pretty much just a wood box with some shoddy speakers and a looooong power strip. I left the back open to shove extra cables in, etc. and put a handle on top. def used a kosmo pin hammered into it for a little bit of style

    Kettle leads, on actual kettles, are C15 connectors with a notch at the bottom and rated for high temperature operation. IEC normally refers to the C13 connector without the notch. This has been a public service announcement.

    • @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER
      @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER  ปีที่แล้ว

      It was a joke. But most kettles in U.K. don't even use kettle leads. Since c15 plugs fit into both sockets. I still think in practical descriptions they are pretty
      Much the same. And in the U.K. both tend to be referred as kettle leads c15 or c13

  • @stoatystoat174
    @stoatystoat174 ปีที่แล้ว

    With the bottom unit you could maybe have it split in half front to back and have the back half fold over the keyboard etc to form a lid
    Would have to make the back half slightly wider to fit over front keyboard etc half
    So you end up with a box ,same width, same height, half the front-to-backness, and the keyboard etc defended for transport
    Pivots round the bottom of the front/back split
    Top of the back half becomes front of the travel configuration
    Back of the back half becomes the top or the travel configuration
    (Mostly a comment to feed t'internet rather than advice 🤗)

    The sports commentary was hilarious, Sam 😆 Loved it! However, I've been wondering for years now: has that setup ever fallen over? I'm not surprised you weren't allowed to stack it up at that event. It wobbles so much and that keyboard stand is seemingly less that heavy duty!

  • @DigitalArchmage
    @DigitalArchmage ปีที่แล้ว

    I know hiding all the lights is nearly impossible, but it would be neat if you could light up only the furby for special moments in a show. Everything goes dark except for a furby beat wizard. (You mentioned putting a switch on the furby, and I thought the opposite would be cool).
