Firstly: I fully realise that I have voided all warenty of my Digitakt and I am happy I did:grinning:
I did the batterypack mod that a lot of people have been doing and I love it. Having my digitakt open got me thinking. There is so much empty space in that box, I wonder what else I could fit in there besides a battery pack.
Long story short; I pulled apart my Volca Beats and placed it inside the Digitakt. It seems like it could work! Of course i would need something to change the voltage of the battery pack from 12V to 9V for the Volca, but that would not be a problem. Next would be soldering the audio out from the Volca to one of the inputs of the Digitakt. Same with the midi. Out from Digitakt to the in-points on the Volca board.
To make it all fit I think I would have to ditch the âcontrollâ board from the Volca and just use the main board with the midi, audio etc.
Why would I do this? To have the beast sequencer of the Digitakt running an analog drum machine of course - but in the same package:grinning:
I havenât gone ahead with it yet. But it got me thinking; what else could be put in the Digitakt with a midi in and an audio out? Volca Keys/Kick/Bass? Monotron? Something else???
Of course this is mainly speculation so far⌠But I think it could work.
Anyways - just had to tell someone:grinning:
Iâll leave you with a couple of images of the battery mod and of the Volca beats board inside the Digitakt.
