The Cre8audio NiftyCASE is a portable powered 84 HP Eurorack case with MIDI to CV conversion capabilities. The unit’s flying busboard can power up to 10 modules, providing industry-standard power with over 1500mA of +12V, 500mA of -12V, and 500mA of +5V.

The case can convert MIDI inputs to CV, gate, modulation, and clock information, allowing you to integrate your modular rig into your DAW/MIDI system. The top of the unit features both USB and DIN MIDI inputs, with the converted signals showing up on standard 3.5mm outputs located on the front of the rack. The CV 1 and Gate 1 outputs respond to MIDI channel 1, while CV 2 and Gate 2 respond to MIDI channel 2. If you play a chord on MIDI channel 3, the lowest note is sent to CV 1 and Gate 1, while the highest note is sent to CV 2 and Gate 2 (single notes are sent to both outputs simultaneously). Modulation information sent from your MIDI keyboard is converted and sent to the Mod output. MIDI clock information sent to the NiftyCASE is converted to 1/8 note triggers on the Clock output.

The NiftyCASE offers two 3.5mm audio inputs on the front panel which are summed to the 1/4″ output on top. The top of the unit also features the power input for the included wall-wart power supply, the power button, and a DIN MIDI Thru port.
