"The mighty powerful DSI Pro 2. I replaced the keyboard with eurorack rails to take advantage of its cv I/O and sequencer. Expands both the pro 2 and your eurorack exponentially and can do some pretty cool stuff!

I fastened a deopfer passive psu bus on the base of the key bed and have been powering with an external linear supply but could be powered just as easily with euro psu (tiptop uzeus etc)"
