WIGGLING 'LITE' IN GUEST MODE

[ericD13]

Are they all crap ?
I had 2 set (10 adaptors each set) from different sellers.
Both doesn't work : when I insert a minijack there is a short : tip and sleeve are connected)

I tried with multiple eurorack patch cables (doepfer, hosa, ...) it's the same problem.

I wanted to use a patchbay to connect my MU modules to the eurorack : no way.

One of the reasons (nearly 20 years ago) that I went for MOTM/5U was the horror of 1/8" jacks. I think I chucked most of my adaptors and just made up a set of 1/4" to 1/8" cables. Alternatively, you could just make up a little panel

[donpachi]

The ones from Schneidersladen work for me (outside is all metal unlike the ones above). However, when they rotate against the minijack, it crackles.

I'm not sure if that would produce the exact problem you're experiencing, but did you make sure they're not meant for 1/8" TRS to 1/4" TS? (As opposed to TS > TS.)

Like this one that looks a lot like yours:

And there's always this (providing your case has some empty space):

I have bought a few to connect euro/TTSH to a patch bay and you roll the dice whenever you buy..

if they are correct, they are usually not well made.

So I have started making my own.

or ask Graeme Hinton to make you some.

HOSA makes very reliable (or cheap enough they're easily replaceable) 3.5mm TS - 1/4" TS in 3ft, 5ft and 10ft.

LMNTL adapter cords <- link


These cords are pretty good for the money. They come in a few lengths and also in quantities of 5 or 10.

I buy decent (as possible) 3.5mm patch cables, twice as long as I need them to be. Then cut the cable in half, solder 1/4" plugs to the bitter ends.

If (more like ~when~) the 3.5mm end craps out, usually right at the edge of the molded strain relief, it's easy peasy to desolder the dead 3.5mm cable w/plug from the 1/4" plug and resolder another cut-in-half 3.5mm patch cable to the 1/4" plug.

Member *sduck has used a different solution ... those gold plated looking 3.5mm female to 1/4" male adapters. I've asked him about those and he said he's had solid fortune using those.

Personally, I either use the chopped 3.5mm cables with 1/4" plugs soldered to them, or I just make 3.5mm-to-1/4" multiple adapter panels.

I use these cables, especially for hooking up things like MS-20 minis and Roland Boutique stuff.

They cost more than Hosa, but are easily repairable and have Neutrik plugs and nice rubbery cables.


I just always buy a cable or two with each synth I buy.

We've had this conversation a few times in a variety of ways, but in my experience those adapters are fine for trigger/gate but crap for CV. In fact, I've found most of the time that any interference/interuption/bridge/etc. (Y-cables, StackCables) between CV source/destination will cause problems.

I use these, and they work great:

Would a stereo 1/8 inch to stereo 1/4 inch adapter work for you? Like the ones sold for adapting stereo headphone cables to 1/4 inch. Here is a fairly cheap one at Rapid Online:

0.80 Euros each if you buy 25 of them.
