Meet CMYK

The new 3D printed powered Eurorack case

  • Versatile Powerhouse

    Whether you aim to seamlessly integrate it into your music studio setup, expand your current modular configuration for a specific purpose, or embark on your first modular journey, CMYK offers a tailored solution for every need.

  • Expand Your Sonic Universe

    With the optional Expansion kit, you can increase the amount of space for your modules, bringing the overall width to 4Ux84HP and a modular system that evolves with your musical journey.

  • Smart Innovation

    CMYK is designed with both ergonomics and esthetics in mind. With its easy-to-assemble and practical form factor, it empowers you to navigate your modular setup effortlessly. Powered by a custom power supply with a handy USB port, it's a harmonious blend of style and utility that will enhance your workflow.

With CMYK, we wanted a small and compact eurorack cabinet without losing comfort or functionality. We took care about ergonomics and developed a special design with certain angles to let you see all of your modules interfaces clearly.

A 4U x 42HP Eurorack case is ideal for anyone looking to begin their eurorack journey, but it may also serve as a great addition to an existing eurorack system.

You can treat it as as specialty tool to build a drone machine, a sequencing box or a standalone effects processor: use the space constraint to stimulate your imagination!

CMYK is suited to be easily combined with non-modular instruments as well: just integrate it in your musical environment alongside your desktop synths or audio gear!

CMYK is equipped with our “powerlink”: a custom designed power supply in a compact layout providing 35W of power to your system.
Powerlink offers 1.25A for each +/- 12V rail,1A for both the 5V rail and the available external USB port as well as numerous protection circuits to ensure your modules are always safe.

Power your USB gear like usb/midi keyboard and controllers directly from your CMYK case and maximize the space saving!

Space is never enough, right? We know it and even if the basic idea of CMYK is to provide a compact solution, we have developed as a separate option the “CMYK - exp”: an expansion kit that will double up the available space bringing the overall CMYK dimension to 4U x 84HP.

The CMYK - exp comes with our “buslink”: a passive busboard that connects to the active “powerlink” busboard of the main CMYK case via an internal bus cable, providing a neat and easy solution to expand your CYMK.

CMYK is entirely 3D printed.

Whilst 3D FDM printing technology is now widely available and used in many industrial sectors, we believe it is vastly underutilized in the modular synth world.
We decided to take on the challenge of 3D printing an entire small eurorack case.

We opted for PET-G as the ideal material for the job: good mechanical and thermal properties, easy to work with and not harmful and, most importantly, 100% fully recyclable.
Furthermore, at least 80% to 100% of the filament used for case printing is made from previously recycled plastic grains, reducing our environmental impact to near zero.

Despite the use of 3D printing and plastic filaments, you won’t believe how robust and sturdy it is.

We use high quality made in EU filaments and prosumer grade 3D printers to offer a finished look without artefacts and with a beautiful textured external surface.

Last but not least, CMYK comes in a variety of colors for you to chose from!

On the back of the CMYK case you will find a lid that can be easily opened or closed by hand using aluminum thumb screws, allowing you to access to the inside of the case to connect your modules to the powerlink busboard. With 10 modules connectors, a led ring lighted power button, a DC jack input and a USB port, CMYK has everything you need for your little set up: just install your favorite modules, power up your CMYK and start patching!
