Yeah 2 layers of foam. Simply put the power strip in the back on the bottom. And make gaps in the bottom layer for the PSU’s. Plenty of room to do so. Then cut out room for your instruments out of the top layer.
Only thing to take care of to make things look neat is to level the instruments. You can use pieces of the left overs of the foam to do this for example. Or with some simple wood work or other material
Does anyone know of a US supplier of those UDG cases? That 2XL case looks like the perfect size but doesn’t appear to be available here. I could order one from Europe but it would be great to find it in the US (or something comparable with the same basic dimensions).
Hey, I was just wondering, how is your workflow with this setup? you got a drum machine (DT) and one synth. You got any additional looper or how do you play?
As you can see, I suck at cables management … and still gotta connect the usb from the boxes to the hub. So every advice to optimize the cables management is welcome
I first wanted to put the power supplies in the bottom foam layer but I was affraid it was going to heat too much.
This is the 2XL UDG case and it’s still a bit too small (ie the power cable of the A4 is a bit crushed and I am not comfortable with it) …
Still looks pretty good! Thanks for sharing this somewhat more messy example - comes a bit closer to how I imagine my first try would be when I ever try it
If you want to make it more neat, put the PSU’s within the bottom layer for starters :). No need to have those in view.
And in stead of the angled plugs pointing up, point them down. Then have the cables go over the floor of the case.
Another thing to try is to place the boxes right next to each other. You save a lot of space that way so you might be able to add something in the future. You can have the 3 Digis next to each other easily for example.
If you ever want to start over or try again you can get those pluck foam panels separately.
As I wrote earlier, I first started to make room for the psu on the bottom layer but then was affraid it would heat too much. Do you think it should be ok ?
I also made an attempt with the Digi in one line but then I hadn’t enough space for the A4 (the power cable of the left Digi was too long). Thats the only solution I found… (and thats also why I didnt put the DT and ST close to each other)
Would have been a better look for sure
Thanks for the advice with the angled cables, I could give it a try soon ! But I won’t buy one more pack of foam so I need to be sure thé e second is the last one
Never have worried about that and never had any issues with it they do not become that warm and the foam is not that dense. It’s made to regulate heat.
Measure everything and make a drawing to make sure.
