Hi All.

I've uploaded two low quality shots taken from my phone of my 
semi-portable cabinet during (ongoing) construction.  One pic shows just 
the module cabinet (upside down) and the other shows the empty module 
cabinet with the CV keyboard to give an idea of the final product.  It 
holds 15 spaces worth of modules.  Why not 16?  I can't remember.  
Probably an error of arithmetic.  The two sections are the same 
dimensions (minus depth) and the module and keyboard cabinets will be 
able to latch together - kind of like an EML-101 - so it can be lugged 
around.  There's space behind the keyboard in the lower cabinet to stow 
some patch cables.  Most time consuming aspect of construction is 
certainly applying finish.

The keyboard circuit is a kbd2e board from e4m when they were still in 
business.  That board includes an LFO and a VCA as well so...in the 
upside-down pic you'll see a gap that's going to be filled with an FPD 
panel with cascaded mults - CV / Gate normaled into first positions, 
portamento knob, lfo rate and shape controls.  The LFO is going to be 
hardwired into the VCA modulated by keyboard gate with a simple panel 
set RC rise time for fade in vibratos etc.  There are also x,y, gate 
output jacks for the Joystick provided with great speed by Wiard 
(Thanks, Grant!).

Inspiration came from John Blacet (Time Machine won't fit in the SKB 
popup).

Planned module complement is from left to right

Nice work!
I want to build a cabinet too, although I still am contemplating rackmounting as I still have 
a rack laying around, but wood is so much nicer.The integrated keyboard is a neat idea, I 
was about to ask what king of keyboard you are using etc, but I see that the company who 
made it , is out of business.
Nevermind, I would have been interested in a CV keyboard, but as I have a 650 on order, 
I'll use a midi board instead.
