Torsten Desktop End Caps for Behringer Model D & Neutron

You might recall the custom case from Torsten previously posted here. Torsten wrote in to let us know several cases have been shipped and he has developed DCAPS or desktop end caps that can be used to either fill the end spaces in his custom case, or as simple desktop end panels. You can of course mount extra eurorack modules in the extra spaces of his case.

"For re-using the original metal case of the Behringer Neutron or Model-D, I developed the DCAPS. They will be included in each DCASE order which increases the single 89HP row of the DCASE ONE to two rows and the two rows of the DCASE TWO to three rows. The DCAPS can be also used as stand-alone tabletop in combination with the Keystep."

Torsten released the DCAPS under Creative Commons license on Thingiverse here.

Below you can see that cases can be stacked as well.

Apparently I created a synth snakes label for these back in 2010. See below.

Health Club MFOS Synth With TT-78

Published on Aug 29, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"This odd synthesizer is a Health Club Micro Game, the front panel looks like it is designed more for a day at the beach than in the studio, there is even a rope handle. The circuit is based on a design from MFOS (Music From Outer Space). The drums are from a Cyclone Analogic TT-78 drum machine and a Doepfer Dark Time is used to sequence the Micro Game.

Roland V-Synth Patches

"V-Synth patches. New. Never installed them."

Update: the samples appear to be of the Kinetic Sound System. I thought it was just the maker of the disk and it slipped my mind. Thanks goes to swissdoc for catching it.

This is one of those things likely I only found interesting. Note the Roland logo. First, it reminded me of Duran Duran's 1st album & early singles during the Planet Earth period. Just thought it was interesting from a design perspective. Where did it originate? Second, I don't recall seeing this particular Roland logo before. I was curious if this was a valid Roland logo or one made up by someone for the CD. I have no idea if it is an official CD from Roland. I ran a quick search on Roland logos and found it, but... It appears to be associated with their printer products? Via Sign Shop: "Currently celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, Roland DGA Corp. has once again been recognized by InfoTrends, Inc. as the leading North American provider of digital printers for the durable graphics market. According to the InfoTrends 2010 Quarterly Wide-Format Tracking Shipping Project report, Roland sold nearly twice as many printers in 2010 priced under $30,000 into the North American marketplace as its nearest competitors."

I didn't know Roland made printers.

Anyway, consider this your random synth trivia for the day...

If you've seen this particular logo used for other Roland synth products, feel free to leave a comment.
