A case assembly for a modular synthesizer includes a case and a carrier to improve the ease of mechanically and electrically installing or uninstalling a module to the case. Specifically, the carrier is mechanically coupled directly to the module via a module attachment mechanism that accommodates modules made for various standardized formats, such as the Eurorack format. The carrier further includes carrier electronics that are electrically coupled directly to the module via an electrical cable. Once the module is mounted to the carrier, the carrier can be mechanically coupled directly to the case via a locking mechanism with one or more quick-release features. The case also includes case electronics, such as a power bus, that can be electrically coupled to the case electronics via multiple pogo pins on the carrier electronics and corresponding electrical traces on the case electronics.
