Hielo Patagonia Sounds has a post up on a small DIY project to modify the Doepfer portable suitecase with multiples along the top.
The top strip outlined in blue is where the multiples will go."The trick will be to use 3 Doepfer A-180 modules and unscrew them from theirs faceplates. Then, use a square aluminium tube (20 x 20 mm - thickness 1 mm), drill some holes in it and screw again the Doepfer modules inside the tube. At the end, just drill two holes in the top wood part of a portable suitcase and screw the new 'Doepfer 3 x A180 multiples in a tube'."
You can find more info including a PDF of the technical drawings on Hielo Patagonia Sounds.
I always thought it was strange that those cases didn't have built in mults.
ReplyDeleteAs people suggested me, the best way to do it should be to remove the top wood part and replace it with an aluminium plate fited with multiples (whatever they are )
ReplyDeleteBefore unscrewing some parts of one of my portable suitecase, I will ask Dieter Doepfer how the suitecase is build.
As you said : it’s shame that the top part of the suitecase is not already use for multiples !
Stay tune ! This small project will evolve.
