via Doepfer, via ross.On the occasion of the Musikmesse Frankfurt from March 12 to 15, 2008 we show the prototype of the A-100 Monster Base. It has the same width as the A-100 monster case and is planned as a base frame for these. But it can be used also without the monster case. It has a removeable top cover with handle for easy transportation.
The base frame has two rows for modules available: one with horizontal alignment and another 45 degrees inclined row. The useable width will be probably 160 HP (i.e. a bit less than the monster case because of the mechanical construction). Two A-100 power supplies (PSU2) and four bus boards are built in.
Release date: spring 2008, price: still to be calculated
It looks like a beautiful system - I love a well-designed modular performance system. This case really cries out for a touchplate keyboard or something like it, though, to make it truly self-contained.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know of something that would work with this format?
awesome.
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY WHAT I NEED!!
ReplyDeleteI've outgrown my single monster case and I can't afford the space required for two side by side. This provides a nice step without enlarging the footprint.
Wonderful!
Plan B Milton will be the next euro TKB
ReplyDeleteDieter should make use of the top of the case that gets taken off when used, that should also be 2 more rows. then I'd def buy it, so it would have the Buchla 200e style look
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing Richard. I know Doepfer had plans to release something:

I recently emailed them, but haven't heard back yet.
thats really cool
ReplyDeleteAn excellent design
ReplyDeleteprobably costs an arm and a leg.
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty bitchen.
ReplyDeleteawesome
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered why there weren't more case options out there. Pretty much everyone loves the space station look of the Buchla 200e but nobody offers a similar design for EuroRack. I guess I'll call up my Dad and have some father - son bonding over a building project...
ReplyDeleteMmmm...nothing like some preemptive bitching, eh Hexfix?
ReplyDeleteHow much does it weigh?
