My Custom Elektron Setup

3 years ago by ChappIO to c/dawless

A while back I built this custom electron case. I should probably use it more than I do right now but it's a lot of fun.

Looks great! Is it portable?

Not really, it has no battery power. So it’s portable in the sense that you can carry it and bring it somewhere else but you still need to plug it in.

Isn’t there space in the back for a power bank? Or what are those wires back there?

There would be but after trying over 10 different ones I couldn't find anything that was reliable. Most of them that had enough juice even charged through the same port as they provided power. So it wasn't convenient enough.

The goal of this case wasn't to go make music on the beach (there's more portable gear for that) but rather visit a friend or do a show at work. So the added power plug is a huge benefit.

Recently I did a train trip to London from Berlin with a Digitakt, a Ripcord, and a Varta 15k mAh power bank. Played music basically the entire way.

It’s beautiful! How’s the knob accessibility on the DT, next to the wall?

It's great I haven't ever noticed any space accessibility issues. Then again, I am a song mode guy. Not much live performance. So I am rarely in a hurry.

Seems like heat could be an issue here. But it’s a beautiful setup nevertheless.
