Ginko Synthese Flightcases

Ginko Synthese portable flightcase frontside 

Ginko Synthese, known from their recent successfully funded SampleSlicer project and their TTLFO, has been making modular cases for quite a while...

Now this Dutch company is thinking about making a small batch of portable flightcases (the white one with aluminium corners), maybe 10 or 20 pcs.
The pictures are an indication of what it will look like (a case he made earlier).

The busboards are connected directly to the back of the case in this one, but if enough people are interested he will make internal mounting rails for them so there will be nothing visible on the outside.

You can still order for this batch.
They are available in two sizes:
104HPx6U = €320,-
114HPx9U = €500,-
They come including PSU and busboards.
The color is white/grey and have a subtile gynkosynthese logo engraved in the lid.
The power connection is on the side so you can use it laying flat or standing vertical.

Avoiding Hum From Power Supplies

If you are buying a second-hand rack, or if you already have a Doepfer modular rack with a cheap alternative (non-Doepfer) power supply you should be aware of how to avoid the (minor) transformer hum that cheap PSUs generate.

In the area near those power supplies (bottom right) no modules should be assembled that are sensitive to transformer hum.
Doepfer recommends to assemble only control voltage modules in this area (e.g. LFO, ADSR, trigger delay, clock divider/sequencer, sequencer, slew limiter, MIDI interfaces and so on)
,but no audio modules (VCO, VCF, VCA, VCP, frequency shifter, ring modulator, spring reverb and so on)
Also don't put the A-178 Theremin modules near the power supply.

Doepfer Power Supply I ( PSU I )

This matters for some of the cheap alternative non-Doepfer power supplies, and for the old Doepfer versions with PSU I 
For new A-100G3/G6 cases (with original PSU II) this does not apply.
