I jumped into the financial rabbit hole of modular synthesis when Rare Waves released a Eurorack modular version of the Grendel Drone Commander. The common starting point for a modular system is a "skiff"--a simple case that can hold the basic building blocks of a synth. But, the new Drone Commander is a chubby little module, and won't fit in shallow skiffs. So, I bought the basic building blocks of a skiff--mounting rails and a power supply--then scored a vintage Kennedy toolbox on eBay. Lots of planning, some leftover maple I had kicking around, and bags of tiny screws later, I made a custom, kinda-sneaky synthesizer. With the case closed, it looks like a toolbox. Now, to figure out how to make music with it...
