Just bought these lovely wooden side panels for the Rytm, they also fit A4, octatrak and MD. Just wanted to mention them on here because they really improve the ergonomics and look great. I was starting to get a bad back spending hours hunched over but now the Rytm is at a perfect angle to work at comfortably. I was initially concerned about covering the side vents but the official word from Elektron is that this is fine.

I like these ones as they offer two different angles. They also sit very tight.

They do sit tight donāt they! Shame they donāt have a natural wood finish option though
Nice. Was looking at these but decided against as thereās no vent holes on the sidesā¦ The bloke told me he had spoken to someone official at elektron and they okād it but my instinct was if they wasnāt needed they wouldnāt be there, and my attic room was getting unbearably hot in the summer ā¦ Let us know how you get on tho.
I can tell you from experience that the A4 + Rytm run fine with the vents covered.
Iāve had both machines housed in the eit-1 by Company Of Quail for months, and not experienced any problems at all (and it gets quite hot here in the summer, being Melbourne, Australia).

Yeah, Elektron say itās fine to cover the side vents, they sell rack ears which do just that. All they recommend is that you leave a 1u space above and below. Obviously this doesnāt apply with these and with it standing up at an angle the four vents on the bottom are probably getting a lot more air into them to compensate
Ahh fair enough then. My units where getting really hot in the summer and it just put me off but your probably correct about the extra air from them being angled. 
Cheers.

I bought a 2-device stand from mokonlineās zerack last month, it works great. Recommended
i got the thomannās panels for the OT but found these babies do a great job to hold the AR in just the same angle. Doesnāt slip and really feels

I have the brightside panels. Really like them, easily removable for travel and the lids fit. Also not a fan of the finish. Might trace them and cut my own natural ones at some point or put a heavier coating on them. The finish is really thin.

Hereās some of my panels on a Rtym.
Hey i need something like this for my OT (18*) but it has to sit right above the cables of my AR. Can you do something like that?
so i can sandwich them shits together.
Thanks
Dayum, how much you charging for those?
This is a bit more agnostic and doesnāt have venting problems, although apparently that isnāt really a thing (good to know).
