Your “Goldilocks” Eurorack Synth Case

With 84HP of useable width, plus built-in I/O that will save you space on utility modules, the Cre8 Audio NiftyCase powered Eurorack case may be just right for your Eurorack needs. Niftycase offers +12/-12V/+5V power for your synth modules, accepts MIDI input via USB or DIN cables, and offers a built-in line-level audio output for easy integration with mixers, portable recorders, and audio interfaces. That means you’ll have the full 84HP of width available for oscillators, filters, CV generators, and all the other fun stuff — no need to take up valuable space for MIDI converters and so on. Whether it’s your first Eurorack or just another brick in your wall of synths, there’s big value in the Cre8 Audio NiftyCase powered Eurorack case.

Ready for input from your DAW, sequencer, or MIDI controller

If you need your Eurorack rig to interface with your DAW software, external sequencers, or MIDI controllers, you’ll be glad you started with the Cre8 Audio NiftyCase. It has inputs on the back panel for DIN MIDI as well as USB MIDI — there’s also a MIDI Thru port to pass along MIDI to other devices. If you already use a master sequencer or controller and want to integrate a Eurorack rig alongside you other drum machines and synth modules, NiftyCase is a sweet solution indeed.

84HP Eurorack case with power, flying bus cable, USB/MIDI input, and line-level audio output

I was looking for a small case and I like to use MIDI to drive my eurorack modules, and I had just bought a MIDI/CV module that cost $189 USD for another case. For $10 more, NiftyCase gives you an entire case with power supply and audio output in addition to MIDI/CV with dual CV/GATES. Buying it was a no brainer. It is an incredible value! The build quality is quite good, all metal (not plastic) and so far it's been working out fine. I've even plugged headphones into the audio output and it's a clean signal. I've got 5 Behringer System 100 modules in it with 4HP to spare.

My only complaint is that the blank panels were attached with hex screws and it didn't come with an hex key to remove them. So my first experience was extremely frustrating. There I was with my modules and my philips screw driver all ready to install them and I had no way to remove the blank panels. Not a good impression but not enough to remove a star. Maybe everyone else has hex keys handy but me (as I'm kinda new to eurorack).

I would definitely buy another one. That kinda says it all. I hope they eventually make longer ones. (hint, hint).

Alex Burland lead me to the Nifty case for my first case. It has what a beginner needs: power,connectivity, MIDI connections to control CV. I have to admit I now have four, each case has a specific use: Chaos, Effects, VCF and other modulation and output. I started building the effects case to complement my Moog and Arturia synths and to make it mobile. Yes it is great value ( the Nifty bundle is awesome) but it is a solid part of my synth setup. Check it out!. E

This is my second nifty case . I also bought the side ears to join the two cases together . You just cannot go wrong with these cases . More than enough power, USB and midi converter to cv, clock ,and gate . 84 U . That converter saved me 200 Washington's right there ! I think these cases are the best deal anywhere period . 54mm deep that's over 2 inches deep. My advice is get the sweetwater charge card . 36 months interest free you can really rack it up with that . You'll be cranking it up in no time. Honest

The first NiftyCase I ordered arrived with one of the capacitors from the motherboard unsoldered and rolling around in the case. Although I exchanged it for a working replacement, that seems indicative of slightly lower quality. Still, I can't complain too much for the great value of everything that's included with the NiftyCase. It comes with a power supply, audio outputs, MIDI in/out and USB input. Normally, these would all be separate and cost hundreds of dollars (and take up space in the case with utility modules), but the NiftyCase provides all of that for a reasonable cost. The gate and CV outputs on the top are especially useful for setting up with a laptop or external controller. Set-up was super easy. Only other issue is that the audio clips when I use both audio outputs, but that also could be an issue with attenuation from the module.

The Nifty Case is nice for someone just starting out in eurorack, in large part because of the price, and because the addition of a MIDI to CV converter with clock and 2 CV gate outs that will help bridge the gap for people with a traditional midi studio who want to hook up a keyboard or sequence with their DAW. It's relatively well built, looks nice, and the power supply is plenty for 84hp. I have mine filled up with some very power hungry digital modules (14 total) and I have 40% power to spare.

Having owned it for a couple of years now, there are a few things that bother me and are forcing me to upgrade. Maybe Cre8Audio is working on a mkII?

1. The rack rails are a little disappointing. Two of the screw holes weren't tapped well and I had to drill out a couple of stuck screws. Also, they don't extend to the edge of the case, so you won't be able to put 2hp modules at either of the far ends. This is super irritating in a small case, because that's where I want my 2hp headphone out, and a mult or other utility at the other end. If there was a headphone out in the case, this wouldn't be as big of an issue.

2. I know that modular is historically a mono environment, but there are so many modules out now that are stereo, and of course there are a ton of great FX processors that can make even the worst wiggling sound brilliant. So it is a profoundly missed opportunity to not include a stereo input and headphone out on this case. The 2 lonely inputs going to the mono out feels dated and not at all nifty.

3. I don't know how much more a built in multiple would have cost, but it would be such a great addition to this small case.

4. The power socket is a little loose on my unit, and the power adapter is very short so it seems to get tugged and pull out the power cord more often than it should. Maybe swapping out for another brick would help.

All in all, it's hard to beat this case at $. the size and form factor are great for a portable solution. Which reminds me, why is there no deck saver for this?
