Maplin code no: L06BR Variable AC/DC Adaptor: http://www.maplin.co.uk/high-power-multi-voltage-plug-top-power-supply-49063
The fourth along L shaped yellow banded pin fitting (on the strip of fittings in the bag) fits nice & snug just like the KA-350 fitting does & wont turn itself off when touching the port like with some other less tight fittings. Nice & high amperage also.

I recommend Smile - as three Korg KA-350s for each Volca comes to the cost of 1 actual Volca unit Sad

*I know also from my 2 pals experience that some of these first shipments of Volcas into Scotland last month are definately leaving the factory faulty so I really do suggest trying all the functions/ports/power options before purchase.

For anyone in the US looking for a cheap alternative, this is the AC adapter I got for my Volcas. Only $8.99 with free shipping, plus the wall wart is sideways so you can easily stack several of them side by side to save space on a power strip.

I had a couple of sony ps2 ac adaptors lying around and their adaptor is 9v with the correct size barrel.

Anyone knows the size of the connector?

This one will do the job?
