The best accessories and mods for your groovebox and synthesizer.
The best CASE for the SP-404 Mark 2 by Roland. (Six compared)
Before you go and splurge on an Analog Pulse case, or something from CremaCaffè, you’ll be glad you watched this video, or read this blog post. I cover all 6 options, reviewed in detail in the video, with overall images and links in this blog post.
Polyend Tracker Accessories
The stands, rubber feet, batteries and cable, cases, sleeves and headphones I use with my Polyend Tracker.
Roland Verselab MV-1 Accessories
I found the best case, stand and other accessories. Plus, I put a battery INSIDE my Verselab!
Roland MC-101 Accessories
Here is the case, stand, cover, feet, batteries, charger, headphones and 8-track I use with my MC-101.
Synth art posters…
Envelope Poster
A diagram of the 4 sections of a sound waveform:
- “Attack sets the time it takes for the waveform to rise from 0 to 100%.”
- “Decay sets the time it takes to fall from 100% to the sustain level.”
- “Sustain sets the steady amplitude level produced when a note is held down.”
- “Release sets the time it takes to decay from sustain to 0 when released.”

Waveforms Poster
A diagram of the 4 basic shapes of sound waves:
- “Sine waves are the most basic waveform. They are smooth and clean.”
- “Square waves sound rich and buzzy because they contain harmonics.”
- “Triangle waves contain smoother harmonics due to their taper in and out.”
- “Saw waves sound the buzziest because they taper up, then drop sharply.”

Synthesis Poster
A diagram of the 4 primary methods of sound synthesis:
- “Additive synthesis adds waves together to make a new sound.”
- “Subtractive synthesis is the common classic that sculpts an oscillated sound using a filter.”
- “Frequency Modulation synthesis modulates the carrier wave with an inaudible modulator wave.”
- “Wavetable synthesis uses a table of sample waves as oscillators to change sound.”
