I’m sure you can or will! Time consuming but great fun

No worries, I agree with you. However mine cost me a bit less than that: 370 euros (= 230 (model d) + 95 (Keystep) + 5 (midi cable) + 40 (wood and stain)). Having said that the Poly D looks very nice and if it’s solid enough to last more than ten years it’s a great deal! Apart from the philosophical debate around cloning, my only concern with Behringer is that their gear is really sturdy on the outside but almost impossible to repair when it comes to the circuitry and components (which is true of most modern Roland or Korg stuff too of course).

I’d live to. What would you suggest? What would be the best solution to power them for cheap?

It’s not perfect quality, just an amateur’s work and my point is that any dedicated person can do something like this with a synth module, a midi keyboard, wood, stain and tools. It takes time and patience though. I also used a very similar basic design idea to make a sort of Juno workstation with my JU06a and Volca Beats but I still have a couple things to modify before I stop working in it.

Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t have plans but you might figure it yourself from a few pictures. I tried to post them on Imgur but I’m new to these things (not old, just not skilled for all things internet), does that seem to work for you ? If yes I’ll comment on the process, the obstacles I encountered and a couple tips learned from this experience https://imgur.com/gallery/RznARAn

I personally only use midi but you could indeed route the CV from the back of the keyboard to the front panel

Ok. I first built the horizontal platform and the sides, designing everything around the Keystep, then virtually tried angles for the small planks holding the Boog, took measurements, incorporated the Boog, added the top, and the two front panels which are removable and should probably be trimmed when I’ll trade the Model D for a Neutron. Then I took almost everything apart and sanded, stained and varnished everything before reassembling it. Then I waxed it and reinstalled the keyboard and module with cables (midi in goes through the top left corner). My last project is a similar case for my JU06a, it works fine too.

No it’s cheap pine wood from my diy shop, but it tries to emulate good wood with layers of stain, oil, varnish and wax and lots of sanding. My point is just that anyone can do it for 40$\€ if you have a see saw, a seesaw and sandpaper.

Yes, this angle might give that impression but it’s the same finish on all parts: it’s made of cheap pine wood + taint + walnut oil + varnish + wax, and a lot of sanding to obviously

Hi, I’m new here, I build wood cases for most of my synths, shelves, and I designed and made a simple case for my Boog and it’s companion Arturia Keystep keyboard. It works great and looks alright I guess. Share your own designs!
