Okay
Midi module is gone. Replaced with a mult for the Pam's for clock distro. This should in tern free up Pam's outputs for more creative applications I also dropped the Befaco IO - it was pointless given how this case will be integrated into my studio.
Unless people can point out any glaring issues or omissions, I think I'm there design wise.
Thoughts and/or optimisations anyone?
can you please link to your latest public rack (copy and paste the url)
The total power output of the Doepfer P9 PSU3 Case is as follows:
Output + 12 V (mA): 2000
Output - 12 V (mA): 1200
Output 5 V (mA): 4000The consumption of this system is: 2164 mA +12V | 1025 mA -12V | 0 mA 5V
Is that +12V rail going to be a problem?

yes almost definitely on the +ve rail and quite likely on the -ve rail as well!
you really need to leave 25-30% headroom on each rail to allow for both inaccurate power consumption figures and inrush spikes...
I'd want at least 2800mA on the +ve rail and 1300mA on the -ve rail...
this is the big failing with the doepfer 9u cases - not quite enough power , as they use the same power as the 8u - where the power is sufficient... either find someway to reduce the power consumption or consider 2 * 6u - which will leave you with some expansion space (which is never a bad idea)
