The system at the moment, a great instrument as it is
For now, the final piece in the puzz… Oh.
Guess it wouldn’t hurt to check out modulargrid once in a while. Almost went ahead and ordered another Mantis case. Need to figure out something else now… would have enjoyed this as a standalone system.
A word of warning to anyone who was expecting this all to fit into 208 hp (going by older Tiptop presentation / promo shots, where the mixer was slightly narrower).
Bummer that it wouldn’t fit!
However, look on the bright side,
With another case you can get a second 245t and have room for whatever they will announce at superbooth, perhaps the 259?!
Sounds like an opportunity to put the sequencer and a touch-plate keyboard in a skiff down front.
Cheers!

Surprising to see that they have the 242t in the Tiptop series. This looks like a not very common Buchla module to me.
It looks very fun
