Make Noise 7U CV Bus Case is a slim case with 208HP for modular synthesizers in Eurorack format. In addition to the two 3U rows, each with 104TE space for modules, the 1U CV bus module is installed. The powder-coated steel construction is 900 grams lighter than the previous wooden housing of the Shared Systems without sacrificing durability. The colouring of the case has been matched to the noble matt-black design of the Black & Gold modules, but the case also looks great when equipped with other modules! The cover seals the housing, protecting the modules from dust during transport or storage. The cover (LID) offers enough space to close the system even with patch cables plugged in.
The CV Bus was originally developed for Alessandro Cortini's personal Make Noise System setup. It provides visual control of levels, vibration rates and polarities for up to four control voltages that can be shared within a patch (hence the name Shared System)
.
The four buses are color-coded and distributed from the center of the system for intuitive and creative patching.
The distribution methodology differs from a typical multiple because the control voltages can be tapped immediately adjacent to their possible targets, allowing shorter patch cables to be used.
The various color codings make complex patches more intuitive and easier to understand.
Typically the CV bus is used to share the most important control voltages within a patch, such as a master clock.
The CV Bus provides all the tools needed to integrate the Make Noise System into the surrounding modular world.
Make Noise 7U CV Bus CaseThe case is sturdy and the lid can be closed while the system is patched. The CV Bus is useful to unclutter your patches and its leds help to identify the signals. The only problem I've experienced is that one of the pins in the power distribution board was slightly bent but I straightened it by hand.
It's solid, robust and will travel well. The CV bus is an excellent idea and works beautifully. I'd have liked a basic manual with it, just so there's no confusion about the raw power headers and maybe to explain any features of the bus. However the main minus losing that 5th star is the presence of sliding nuts. Personally I hate them and this exposure didn't change my mind. It's a PITA when you need to move modules around, at least compared to the 3 Doepfer cases I own. And with not quite so many power sockets as would be ideal, you kinda need to use large-ish modules to fill the case out.
Comes with what looks like a Japanese or US power lead and DV247 supply a Euro-UK adapter, unhelpfully. Fortunately it takes a regular kettle lead.
