Korg Volca Modular

quite easy actually !

Just wanted to share a pic of a convenient hack for getting CV/Sync into the VM using jumper cables (e.g. a jumper cable from one source to the CV input tip will halve the modulation strength, handy due to the scarcity of attenuators) - the cable is handy for routing a clock source from the VM to the sync in to bypass the sequencer clock - mucho fun, especially with wonky or fast clock or using the utility to merge the /4 and /3 clocks to get a regular irregular pulse or a function 2 left etc etc

I intend to buy a TRS jack with a bit more room in the shell to house a header block like the one cobbled together and heat shrunk on the end of the cable - so the inputs (or outputs) are virtually at faceplate level and already talking its ‘jumper’ cv language

This cable was handy when slung on the headphone out of my Nord Micro Modular (two DC coupled lanes capable of +/- 3.4V) as a CV/clock distributor to the KVM

The whole west-coast thing is right up my street - loving the Korg despite the tiny size, so inspiring and hands on - always interesting and musical and never the same, incredible depth to it and sounds awesome

edit : sleeve is the ground in for the case shown - but ground out used with the Nord
