video upload by elektronengehirn

"The diy modular synthesizer in a suitcase which Malte Steiner developed between 2024 and 2025. The goal was to build a cheap modular system mainly for live concerts, which is repairable and can go into Checkin Luggage without much worries (something you don't do with Eurorack). So far it is used for several concerts by the projects Elektronengehirn and Notstandskomitee in Berlin and Helsinki, and local Jam sessions here in Aalborg. It is build in a Nanuk 923 case which can remove the lid, the rails are made of wood and wood screws, the front plates are 3D printed.
The system features 2 analog Oscillators / LFOs, one digital oscillator with 6 different modes, an oscillator bank with 6 square waves, triple clock module, 3 slew limiters, a lowpass filter, tone control filter, wave folder, one ring mod / wave folder, 5 VCAs, crossfader, mixer, 2 pressure sensors, a trigger button, unity and gates mixer.
See it in action at this Notstandskomitee concert in Helsinki:"
