Yamaha CS80 Kenton MIDI Retrofit Project

Scott Metzger sent in these shots and a link to a thread on Velvet Acid Christ documenting a Yamaha CS80 Kenton MIDI retrofit. I never realized the front panel of the CS80 was actually wood. Title link takes you to the thread, you will need to sign in, but when you do you will see a ton of shots and information on the project.

Tips on Custom Modular Cases

Via Cynthia up on the Cyndustries list:

"I seem to recall their being a maximum depth of about five inches on those pop-up mixer style cases from SKB, perhaps the Gator brand equivalent is a bit deeper?

Our SixPacs are 7" inches deep (168 mm or so?) A different approach would be to bolt two or four SixPacs together and then take them to a case company to put a thin wooden case around the SixPacs and to add a latching lid and carrying handle, etc.

Here are a couple of examples...

Gallery=20, Gallery=19, Gallery=6

If designing a custom case like that, you could design it with some extra room in either the back or the bottom to accommodate a reverb tank or two and power supply.

I always recommend adding 1" inch (24mm) of extra case around the front to protect all of the knobs if the synth should ever fall over or be placed face down for any reason. If you add a tiny bit extra to that, or design a bit of additional space in a removable front lid, then you can transport the rig with your patches still connected - so it's all ready to go when you get where you're going!"
