New eurorack case options.

No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> Six months ago, it seemed that the only alternative to doepfers cases on the horizon was the forthcoming offerings from Plan B. Fast forward to today, and there’s still no sign of the ringers, or the model 0 case. Things aren’t all doom and gloom however. In the same timeframe, the eurorack world has seen some newcomers arrive.

Modularworld, and more recently Monorocket.

Modularworld’s offering offers a number of features that the doepfer cases don’t have (built in multiples, attenuators, momentary buttons). Monorocket looks even more exciting. The interview on trash audio gives some clues as to the prices.

Lexington 600HP $1000
Rack6 168HP $250
Mission9 168HP $500

The Lexington may look quite expensive initially, but at 600HP, it works out at a per-HP cost at $1.66. The only other eurorack case with a ratio near it, is the wooden low cost doepfer. Comparing the two cases, the Lexington is a hundred times better looking.

The racks are also really appealing. With a per-HP cost of $1.48, they will be the best value available right now for eurorack cases.

All the current prices are preliminary and subject to change, but if they stay close to the prices already mentioned, Monorocket has potential to satisfy a lot of customers when they start shipping.
