If it rains, we got you covered.
Our eurorack covers were just released last week for all 6U/7U 104HP cases. Two different types of covers were made. The first type is a waterproof and sun resistant cover made of 100% rip-stop nylon for ultimate durability. This cover is perfect for any user who enjoys making music around vibrant landscapes or attending outdoor meetups such as modular on the spot. It is also great for users living in small or shared spaces who want some extra spill protection. The second type is a studio dust cover that comes in unique limited edition patterns and is made of a 100% cotton. It is for the user who wants to protect their rack from dust, small debris and also block out light while leaving a patch in place.
How it started?
Like many others, my partner, Matthew Piecora’s studio is a part of his living space. He would stay up late working on a patch then go to bed and not want to turn off his eurorack. The light emitting from all of the modules was distracting, especially since he uses our glow cables, I wanted- no, I needed to do something about it. At modular events in the park I would see people wrapping their skiffs in blankets or coats to protect them from possible inclement weather, I mean we do live in Seattle.. Everyone knows how expensive gear is in the modular community and the idea that people are leaving their racks so exposed made me crazy! The costly hard covers some people have are not easy to transport and sometimes wont fit over cables. I decided something had to be done, if not for the sake of the modules for my own sanity.
I started sewing prototypes of the covers you see today in early 2019, it was a satisfying puzzle figuring out what pattern would give the most snug fit and remain secure while a spaghetti plate of patch cables were scattered across the face of the modular synth. Eventually I came up with a practical design that incorporates all of the following;
Small portable - Fits in your pocket
Unique corner hugging padded sides
Material sewn from only one piece of fabric to insure durability
Military grade shock cord to adjust the covers fit
Rip-stop nylon for the best water protection
Premium hardware
Light blocking, dust protection, spill resistant
Every cover is made by hand and signed by me then embroidered with our logo locally. We take pride in knowing that our product is sustainable and animal friendly. I’m not a musician, this is my form of art and I hope you enjoy it.
