Since a large portion of my modules are Analogue Systems, which use a different 16-pin power connector and different pin-out, I needed a solution for mounting them in the Doepfer case. Analog Haven sells adaptor boards, but the large number of modules I have required something more elegant.

 

The Doepfer power boards have crimp-style lugs for +/-12v, (inactive) 5v, and gnd. Given that, it was simple to DIY boards that connect to these lugs and route these lines to Analogue Systems-style power connectors. They are mounted into the case using 3M adhesive squares, which are quite sturdy. Also, since Analogue Systems modules require 5v that the Doepfer power supplies don't generate, I added a 5v regulator circuit onto the DIY busboard to generate this line. The surplus Analogue Systems board I also mounted in the case generates this on it's own when you wire in the 12v line.

 

Lastly, I have a couple Doepfer modules that needed 5v power as well, so I made a home-spun equivalent of the Doepfer low-cost 5v adaptor, which is really just a 5v regulator circuit on a Doepfer-style power connector that feeds the 5v back on to the power distribution board.

Another one from the other day.

End shot into the nearly empty box after I cut off the end of the box with a knife. Yikes!

Amazingly versatile and complex synth, compatible with 5d MPE.

Here's a small fraction of them!

This was the first SMD device we did in house and I think it turned out pretty well.

This is a Thomas Henry-designed MIDI->CV converter. The third piece of DIY gear I ever built. It's more impressive when you consider I first built it in 1998, and it's just now getting functional. The things I've had to fix to get it to work are legion. You'd think I didn't know how to build anything back then (ok, I didn't, really, but the first project I tried did work, I and I was emboldened to build another thing and this, which both failed and put me off of DIY gear for several years...)

The truly center of my life!

My beloved Casio SK-1 shares this shot with its genetic relative, the Realistic Rap-Master. Radio Shack sold the Rap-Masters long after the SK-1 was out of production, but the internals are amazingly similar.

at long last (eight years on the hunt!), my 200 series has found it's last piece.

 

i am only so fortunate because of the generosity of a fellow buchlaist - a person of particularly magnificent designs.

 

i've no words for this sort of kind gesture, only gratitude.

This was the previous owner's first synth - he told me he learned to play keyboard on it, thus the tape on the keys with each note

This spectacular synthesizer system is a combination of Digisound modules (white faceplates) & Aries Modular (black faceplates). Originally there were two non-functional systems, an Aries Modular system and the Digisound. Switched On was asked to resurrect two separate systems and combine them for the best arrangement of modules. The result was very pleasing to say the least!
