My new under cart just arrived. I am so happy with how it turned out. I had it made for me by trainees in wodd and metal works, I just provided the drawings (linked post above).

We are currently renovating. I could convice my wife that the best place for my Kosmo and his friends is this 4 meter long wall in our living room. once the walls are freshly papered and painted this will look realy nice. I imagine the guitars and alike hanging by their necks on the wall and more musical stuff left and right of the cart…

that’s a real nice base cab . one of these days I will not be in a hurry / lazy and actually build some nice furniture grade cabinets for my modular .

I’ve been gradually building my Kosmo modular for the past 3 years. I go through periods where I make a whole bunch of progress, then I hit months where I don’t touch it at all because I get scunnered by a road-block.

I finally finished the 2700 Twin T Drummr today, which I installed in my four row custom case with:

  • 2x Power Supplies
  • 1x 113 Performance Filter
  • 1x 1153 Bounce…
  • 1x 1161 Dual Buffered Multiple
  • 2x 4710 Safety Valve
  • 1x DIY Format Jumbler that I designed.

I have kits left to build:

  • 1x 1145 VCLFO
  • 1x 1158 VCADSR
  • 1x 2399 Triple Splashback Delay
  • 1x 1181 Double VCA
  • 1x 1222 Performance VCO

I also have a 1114 Filter Grr that I built but couldn’t get to work, so will need to troubleshoot that further or try building a new one in future. Similarly, I need to decide if I wire up the power supplies together, or get two separate plugs. I can’t remember what the original intention was.

My patience for DIY is so low and I get frustrated as my knowledge about electronics is limited, but it’s good to see gradual progress!

Just ordered the 4051 Plexquencer, 1158 VCADSR, 2 OF THE 2001 KEYBOARD SEQUENCERS, 1148 MOD STATION QUAD LFO AND A 1221 OSCILLATOR EXPANDER.

Its actually harder to source the wood than the components her in the Isle of Man sadly.

Its not truly Kosmo format, in that my panels are 3 1/2" by 8 1/2", but its got big jacks and runs on ±12v. Its taken about four years to get here, and now I need more cases!

Looks great. I am curious about the choice of size. Was there a specific reason you chose these dimensions?

I would say laziness and lack of foresight. I based it on 8 1/2 x 11 paper which gave me the easiest and most efficient way to layout the most panels when cutting out the hardware store sheet metal that I first used when making panels. When I went back and redid my panels using plexiglass I was basically locked in on those dimensions because I didnt want to make new cases based on better dimensions.
