Cables for the cv out?

[ello]

hi there, i am trying to find cables to connect the cv out of the analog four. but all i find is 3,5 stereo to 2x 6,5 mono… but i need 6,3 stereo to 2x 3.5 mono

any idea where to find them?

cheers,
ello

Is this any good? https://www.elektron.se/accessories/audio-cv-split-cable-kit/

[ello]

thank you… i was afraid of that overkill. why are there cables for 6,3stereo to 2x 3,5mono everywhere, but only overpriced handmade solutions the other way, or said set of adaptor, y adaptor and cables

is this so uncommon?

I found some that were 3.5 stereo to 3.5 dual mono female, then used adapters from there… not perfect but it worked. In fact if you’re in the UK I’m happy to ship these to you for postage cost as I’m no longer in need of them. Cheers.

I used this. A simple little splitter box.

Elektron makes an official solution, but I’ve also heard of people making their own cables. Alternatively you could just buy cables and adapters.

I had that pink box made just to keep my desk a little less cluttered.

[ello]

thank you for your inputs. so, generally there is nothing much to care about? if i take some cables and solder the according jacks to them? or do i need to care about shielding them?

So how exactly do I start interfacing with my Eurorack?

musical chops : coding chops : soldering chops : it's all the same thing right ! it's worth getting your fingers dirty in the long run. separate cables & no adaptors [image] @cocker - that y cable looks mighty fine, just be careful that you get good strain relief from your 1/8" plugs as the cable looks wider than you'd normally feed a jack that size (maybe scalpel the dia down inside to clamp it well)

CV Cables to Modular

Anyone have a line on the perfect CV cables for 1/4"stereo to 1/8" mono or do I have to keep using adapters or make my own? I’ve been looking online but nothing’s jumping out at me. Do you have better Google-Foo? TIA

Audio/CV Split Cable Kit MEGA THREAD

Ok, so ... Let me explain. A lot of people have approached us asking about which cables they should use for their Four/Rytm, and then wondered why we don't provide fitting cables ourselves. So naturally, we felt the need to make this. The CV/Audio Cable Kit is basically our own take on the Y-cable. However, when designing the cable we felt like we didn't want to make just a Y-splitter, that is already widely available, and will still need more adapters for use with all our gear. Instea…

i.e. search the Forum rather than starting new threads for popular questions, keeps the good responses easier to find

[abnoureldin]

how did you make this box? is there a guide available

[avantronica]

2 x TRS sockets 6.25mm 1/4inch
4 x TS sockets 3.5mm 1/8inch

T is Tip (point)
R is Ring (next to point)
S is Sleeve (furthest from Tip) (also known as earth/ground)

TRS T to TS1 T
TRS R to TS2 T
TRS S to TS1 S & also TS2 S

That box solution also requires that you have 1/4inch TRS to TRS cables

I no longer have an AK, but I recently picked up a couple of these to trigger a Roland TM-2 from my modular, with a couple of 3.5mm to 1/4" adapters. I’m fairly certain that is mentioned in one of the threads @avantronica linked above, but I thought it worth mentioning again as a cheap option, since I had to hunt a bit to find the info.

I’m always amazed for the £20 price tag people go to all sorts of hassle to avoid buying the Elektron cable kits. You just spent a grand on the machine and the kits are exactly what you need to CV sequence. Maybe people enjoy soldering - not being facetious.

[avantronica]

The Elektron kit is great value IMHO and very flexible for a variety of uses, but it’s so much easier to plug in a straight bespoke cable which has no additional connections along its path

remember most of these discussions pre-dates the Elektron solution

The kit feels nicely made, but there’s a lot of it, it’s bulky, long cables and so on … little custom cables are fuss free by comparison

The kit is useful for AR ins and outs when you revert to 1/4" arrangement

[Overthink]

I made these cables out of leftover speaker wire and some connectors I got from my local electronics place for 50 cents apeice. Works perfectly fine.

The Elektron kit looks great though.
