I have a bugbrand pt delay and drm2. I was wondering if it’s possible to use regular patch cables to banana jacks with some kind of adapter.
Is something like that what I need? And do I need to somehow ground the bugbrand stuff first? They have grounding jacks on the back.
Thank you so much!
That adapter has signal and ground as you see. You’d need that one to ground your system. And then you can use banana to minijack cables without ground cable to patch your system as your system is already grounded by the adapter cable.
Or you can just use a format jumbler that low gain electronics made.
also, you probably already know, but if you are going to send cv from your DRM to the PT you will need to ground them to eachother.
Thank you all so much! I wanted to get the bugbrand one but perfect circuit is local and if they’re the same thing I’ll just buy it there.
the perfect circuit adapter will work exactly the same. and of course you can verify it with them for peace of mind but yea basically you just need the “Y” to split off into 1 x gnd and 1 x signal connector.
also, it was either them or noisebug that has format jumblers in stock from prism circuits.
Man I feel so stupid, I still can’t figure out what to do. So one of the banana cables goes into the grounding hole in back of the buchla or bugbrand, the other one goes into one of the banana jacks on the actual machine, and then the 3.5 goes into the semi Modular? And then I can turn them on and just play?
Like if I wanted to use 3.5 cables from a 0-ctrl to a buchla, what would I plug in where and in what order?

That’s right. Just make sure to put the black banana jack in the grounding hole. The yellow one is the signal.
The main rule is that there should be a ground connection between two units. If you use two synths/sequencers with banana jacks, you can just take a separate banana jack cable and connect the ground points of the two units.
