    Thanks for the video Mark, I think you understood what we had in mind doing CAIXA perfectly 🖤

      You did a great job building this case - well done. Now about some ideas for the version 2 case :)

      Would be great to see some variants of this case, say 4u (ideally 1u on the bottom for Steppy), 6u, 7u etc.

      @@boydw1 We are working on it, but we're not sure if we will release them. It is hard right now to be able to get the components, we may have to focus on assuring the CAIXA 104 availability.

      If you total up the cost of the utility modules included it is a very good deal. Thanks for watching!

    I pretty much like the idea! Very nice case finish and bunch of useful functions. Good job! It doesn't have MIDI/USB, which is a bit pity. However one small module can fix that.
    Nice jam SynthDad!

    • @SynthDad
      @SynthDad  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks Ihor! MIDI would be exactly the module I’d add to it, and that would make it a perfect case even for experienced modular-ists (is that a word?)

      @@SynthDad We discarded MIDI because of two main reasons:
      1- The digital component shortage. CAIXA wouldn't be a reality if we wanted to add MIDI in the utility row.
      2- It would be really difficult to match every client needs respecting to MIDI. One would want clock, the other 2 voices, other CCs...

    Regarding the cost, in addition to the €400-450 there's also power, which can cost another $100-300 if you are starting with an unpowered case like I did.

    Great video. As someone new but who already has a case, I would have totally gone with this and experimented with "Fun" mods first. I think this is highly worth it and I will recommend this to any newbies brave enough to ask me for my opinion. :D

    Nice review and nice case Nano! I like the handle on top but think I would prefer all the connections on the top 1U row (including the power) if the top row is 'frozen' Love that you built all of the utilities into that 1U row....SynthDad is right on the money that newer modular-ists (like me) find that adding utilities to your case is a bit boring (even though they are so important) :)

      Though you could put them into the S&H and then clock-sync sampling them as a work-around

    In my opinion utilities are not boring though when I was new to modular I didn’t appreciate how important they are. Utilities are one of the things that make modular unique.

      Absolutely- utilities are what make the other modules shine!

      Well any friend of Jorb is a friend of mine! Did you have a chance to watch the video. I use the CAIXA case all the time because the 1U utilities are very…useful. Only thing I’d add is a dual VCA perhaps

      @@SynthDad oh wait, I always get this confused, I'm new to Eurorack (I have a Doepfer "beauty" case). I basically want a version of this CAIXA case that fits the same number of modules this 3U 104hp version does, but is narrower and taller instead of being short and long/wide. So would that be 52hp / 6U?

      @SynthDad  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SynthDad The modules included should be not more 40-50 euros at most. You should always think about price compared to peoples wages. I get paid 250-300 a week, is it worth me working for 10 days 8 hours a day for a case? I just made my own for less then 60 quid. Its shame its not more accessible to people from poorer backgrounds.
