Mobile Base Case

Trigger warning: cable management

I found this cool old double sided case and just finished the setup on the first side! I've been slowly grabbing new bits here and there for about 10 years now, but I don't have a dedicated workspace, can't leave my gear out and accessible in a house with sticky-fingered kiddos, and setting up 10 different things every time I want to do something has become a deterrent to actually making music. Queue: the Base Case™. Fully protected, always set up, always plugged in, and ready to add in the additional toy of the day or effects loops or whatever into two different line loops, cv modules, or straight into the TX-6.

All of the gear is held on with after market iPhone magnet rings so I can pop off the Zs to turn on bluetooth, hit the side buttons on the TP-7, or plug in charging cables etc. Cable management knobs are just lamp cord stays.

The other side is not set up yet, but I'm going to drop in two Crows Ovum drones, a re-boxed digdugDIY DRONE, a Behringer JT-4000 Micro, and a Monome Norns Shield and Grid 128, all powered with a USB PD 20Ah brick. Totally different vibes, but I can sample any sound explorations from the drone/Norns side into the OP-1 field and really expand my sound palette, or aux out a channel or two from the TX-6 into the Shield if I want to do some complicated post processing or glitch stuff, then send it back into one of the open mixer slots for recording.

I'm excited about it, and I've got some time blocked out on Friday for an inaugural session- will report back with results!
