Hi.
For travel jam sessions I want to connect my 3 volcas into my yamaha reface dx. Ive seen videos with people using a kind of squid cable that joins 3 volcas into one output without any mixer etc. Is this a good solution, something that Korg would recommend?
I could make this cable my self, I think I will then have resistors separating the sources, kind of like with an summing op-amp.

Re: Connecting 3 volcas into one cable
What you've likely seen is just a simple "splitter" cable used in reverse. They work by simply connecting all the positive tips and isn't the best for the signal as is sums the voltages and you end up with a rather hot signal going into your synth's external input. I'd wager Korg doesn't recommend doing it that way, especially considering that they are selling a Volca 3ch mixer.Viaren wrote:Hi.

Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here
