Hi,
Whats the best option if you want to install a module upside down to get the jacks in your preferred position? Are there panels available with the markings flipped or is it a DIY job to flip the panel and mark it up manually or to create a stick on overlay.
Cheers, Michael.
I noticed this spam post in the modules section:

Future modules – Added the Expert-Sleepers ES-8 for in/out communication.
Have you taken a look at the make noise RxMx. Very smart. Big and more expensive but for performance this module is something special. You can fade 6 channels besides some other vca functions

Now this is an interesting module, I've been thinking of testing out vactrol's for a project. Have to be careful about budget so this will be out of reach at the moment but well worth me looking at in the future.
Have you looked at make noise Rosie? Has dj esq features

Yes, that looks interesting and might work for me in some situations. My focus is art installations so this module would be useful if I'm working live and need to set scenes. I've added it to my rack as a bookmark :-)

Try this. Manufacturer by feedback its listed

Ah ok, this module, I also noticed it comes in a DIY version:

Thanks, will have a read.
the cp3 + is definately an option. four channels with independent volume control and master minus and positive output. i'm pretty sure you can buy the module as a DIY.

@joncharliefeathers - can you link to the cp3 +, I cant find it in the modules?
pittsburgh have an inexpensive 4 chanel mixer. each input has an output or, all inputs are summed at the channel 4 output. I also have a cp320 which i think you can buy as a kit. a useful feature on this mixer is the mult sockets in addition to audio inputs outputs.

@joncharliefeathers - Cheers, I looked at the Pittsburgh kit but the mixer modules didn't have a master mix knob. I may be coming from a different direction but having control over the master makes sense to me and could help me eliminate the need for my Alan & Heath mixer if I'm traveling light.
I'm looking for a module with 3-4 inputs and 1 output, like the AI Synthesis AI002 fits this spec.
Still searching for options.

Hi,
This is my first modular build working on a 'no' or 'low' budget. The case is a used flight case (utility briefcase) with internal dimensions just over 84hp and enough room for 2 rows. Its a little shallow but I have around 65mm depth for modules and to leave patch cables in place when the lid is closed. Its a solid case and no too heavy for lugging around.
You will see 4 x 4hp blank panels in the build, these were used to keep the rails in place when the case was put together. The rails are bolted to left and right wooden spacers ends which make up the extra internal width. The rails with ends are fixed into the case using flat head hex bolts (the ones you get with flat packed furniture). There's a small gap at the top and bottom of the rails which I think I will fill with some sticky backed foam strip to stop anything falling down the gap (this is when the rack is full, if ever).
The power supply is the Row Power 40 with Flying Bus and external power brick.
The first module I've added is the Music Thing Radio Music. This follows the audio work I've been doing in my VJ sets using samples triggered using my Livid CNTRL:R. This is blind mixing where I have no idea where the looping audio sample is and I fade up the sample using a knob on the Livid. VJ software is not great for controlling audio so I'm exploring the hardware route. With this I also have x2 Music Thing Modular Simple EQ's. Plus a Mutable Instruments CV Pal as a low cost way to start exploring MIDI / CV.
The module I'm looking for next is a simple output mixer. At the moment I have the AI Synthesis AI002 Audio and CV Mixer in the rack. For the output mixer I want a minimum of three inputs and a master mix out knob.
I like the simplicity of the AI Synthesis AI002 but would be happy to get some suggestions on mixer options, ideally low cost and DIY is fine.
Cheers,
Michael.
