Ah, ok... now I understand but still can't give you advise in this. 

Best regards,

Can't help on this too, but I would be interested in the topic in 
general: How to convert 8HP/ 3U modules to 1U modules. The 8HP is 40.30 
mm wide, 1HU is 44.45mm. So one would have to create a new front panel. 
Am I right?

Right, you're asking about rackmounting the ribbon controller itself into 1U, not the module it connects to, which is staying 3U and 8HP.

I just had a quick look though, and the ribbon controller is slightly longer than a 19" rack is wide, so I don't think it's going to happen.  A shame, as on the other axis, it is thin enough to fit the 1U rack height.  (You mention cutting it to fit, and I have no idea if it works that way, sorry.)

Someone could hypothetically make a 1U ribbon controller (say, with 1V/Oct and gate out, so it's compatible with more than just the one Doepfer module), but I think it would need to be designed that way, rather than cut up.  I don't think there'd be much demand for one, and as a one-off it would be quite expensive and/or time consuming to build.

I'd settle for having the ribbon controller in front of the rack, on a desk.  It's more comfortable at that angle, anyway.

Sorry I couldn't help!

I'm sorry, this will not work because the position sensor is longer than
19". The active area of the position sensor is 500 mm plus the area required
for the connector (~ 70mm). That's more than 19" which is about 483 mm. It's
not possible to shorten the positions sensor without damaging the sensor (in
contrast to the pressure sensor which can be easily shortened).

Then it should be no problem. Simply mount the R2M manual to a 1U blind
panel by means of the four M3 threads at the bottom of the R2M manual
housing. The lenght of the R2M manual is ~ 600 mm (plus the USB connector).
If the width of the case is more it should work. I'd recommend to keep the
housing as it guarantees the mechanical stability required for the pressure
and position sensors.

oh yes, I did believe the ribbon being 500 mm, unfortunately the largest intellijel case is 537.3 mm,
so I might opt to build a handle wooden top for the A-100LC3 to make the case portable, wider enough for hosting the ribbon and containing left and right small cases for the 2 PSU's. After transport the ribbon can be layered on the top of the case or anywhere else. The only issue would be for hand luggage on planes, typically asking to stay within 55cm length.

I thank you a lot for support

Best regards

Hi,Have you considered building your own case? Clicks And Clocks in Berlin sell 4U frames (a 126HP frame is 646mm wide so the controller will fit easily), if you have basic DIY skills it shouldn't be too difficult.Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot, I didn't think of it, this advice is much appreciated!
