It’s here!
Might as well take a family photo…
You can see the 4U 104 is definitely a palette-family product. More shallow than the 7U, and slightly slimmer on the sides due to the lack of legs / slots for connecting.

Nice setup!
(watch that single screw in the left morphagene ;))

Well, all the modules in the photo are half screwed in. Have to test everything first.

That was speedy delivery! BEAUTIFUL!!!
Nice setup! thanks for sharing
Beautiful work as always @Danjel and fam!
Any chance there will be an 84hp version for the palette trifecta?
Us modular addicts here can always find a reason to add yet another case to the mix 
Can’t wait to get this new 104.
Cheers you guys! 
84hp would be an instant buy for me. When trying to make a single voice palette and then a percussion palette, I found 62hp to be just a bit too limiting, but 104 is more extra room than I needed and starts to be less compact. 84 would be a fantastic happy medium. I hope this gets considered.

Yeah I do feel like I’m a bit of a Goldilocks here in wishing for something in between the two cases 
104hp is a great size but the proportions are off a bit for those of us making 16:9 video content. 62hp has good proportions but every time I spec out a case on Modulargrid I come up a few HP short of what I need.
But, ya know, I can probably convince myself that I need one of each

If an 84HP Palette ever gets considered, the four in/out audio jacks would be stellar.
Best cases in the business, Intellijel!

Mnauak described it as exactly the same depth as the 62hp palette. 45.5 mm. I believe this is just a little too shallow for FH-2 and its expanders, which if memory serves are about 49 - 50mm.
I’m thinking I’ll likely be using a MIDI 1U and an mBrane on this. Although depending on how capable that 1U expander is, I may not need the mBrane at all.
These photos illustrate an absolutely perfect use-case for an pair of Octalinks. One on the far left of the palette, and it’s twin on the far left of the bottom 7u’s 1u row. And you’ve got a buff mult right there to duplicate a signal coming out of the palette for parallel processing in the 7u, or for buffering pitch CV sent from the 7u case to the palette.

Well, I just ordered one of these. 3rd case in my first year of modular. Now I have room to fit modules on my short list which include the Dixie II+, Quadrax, Bifold and Scales. I do have a question about the 1/4" outputs and how I should use them for this case. On my 62hp Palette I have the Mixup hooked up to the 1/4" jacks for stereo output. I love it. For this case I was thinking about getting the Stereo Inputs Modules. Then maybe I would add another Mixup to this one. This should allow me to do a Stereo Send/Return, right? Or is there a benefit to the actual Send/Return module? Is there a signal difference or anything like that which would differentiate them? Sorry for the noob question.
The main benefit of the Pedal I/O modules is the ease of matching send / return levels and the integrated wet/dry balance, as well as having a line-level output. Otherwise having the stereo in and mixup is going to be more flexible, though your output level will be modular level and not line. If your external equipment has enough headroom to handle that it should not be a problem though.
I’m starting to see the benefits of having both the Stereo In and the Pedal I/O now. I could always buy the 1U Stereo Jacks to hook up to the Pedal I/O, correct?
You would need the Pedal IO Jacks 1U module for the Pedal IO. The Pedal IO and Stereo Line Out actually use different connection cables.

Thanks for clarifying that. I missed that module. It looks like it’s not available currently. Hopefully that comes back in stock because I think I want to go that route to give myself more options.
Anyone have any good suggestions for a gig bag to use until the new custom bag and lid are released? I love mine and I need to take it out this week.
We have a nice gig bag about to go into production. We are using a new supplier in Taiwan and I have spent a few months working on the prototype with them (and for some other stuff). We get pre-production units next week and then production will take a few weeks more + sea shipping.
For the lid we are working with Decksaver but they are in the UK and things have been slower due to the lockdown. We are supposed to get a proto unit very soon though, maybe next week as well.
