They have great products! I only powered my portable Eurorack cases via Polyend Anyhweres, which eat 4 hp but give more power. But now I use 2 104hp cases that are only powered by the myvolts ripchords. Of course you have to pick low power modules, but just plugging it into the original power supply in on the 104 hp Make Noise case and jamming in the park with a friend nearly brought me to tears after such a long covid hiatus without jamming in groups.
Great stuff Hainbach! Love the tape techniques, very cool. Started the move away from mains power a couple of years ago. Enough of my gear is power-bank powered now to get out of my bedroom "studio" and into the wide world again (yay, post-lockdown). I got a Ripcord for my Volcas so I can power up to five of them off of a single 9VDC barrel jack and a bunch of USB power adapters. I've even cobbled together a step-up device for my 0-Coast (5V USB to 15VDC). I've also built a 42HP beauty case for some modular stuff with a Rakit Go! Much more fun going out into open spaces and jamming
I wonder if Techmoan would find these useful for his boombox etc videos? Either way, these look like a great solution. Half my studio is powered by MyVolts Ripcord USB power adapters :)
@@vogelvogeltje well they won't teach you that in college, but IG you're at a good one they should teach you the fundimentals from with you can teach yourself how to make synths. But its a long hard journey to get there
Fantastic! Whenever I need to replace D-cell batteries, either I don't have any left or the ones I have in storage are long dead. This replacement system would take care of that issue.
Next winter I'm gonna fix up my dads Uher 4000. I bought a second broken one, that looked like it had all the parts broken on my dads. And it does! It's gonna be great! Although not quite as great as your Uher bag. That one is much nicer than my standard one. I'm a bit jello. But not jello enough to get one. :-)
I've just bought a couple of the 70's Uher report ic machines. In good working order. I'm still trying to work out how vest to power them. Use a 6v sealed gel? Hard wire a socket for a wall wart. This has given me a third option. I have built a portable 9v supply that runs of a 12v sealed gel battery and a 12v 12" active midtop that runs off another one. It's been great being mobile during lockdown, playing to the sheep, rooks and ramblers.
Love the video..... but not going to lie - I'm distracted by how amazing your sweater is. I need it. Please, where is it from? (I've already pre-ordered the PO-Kit from the kickstarter). Thanks for taking the time to make such amazing content, we're all immensely spoiled for having content creators like you sharing their experiences and expertise (and fashion).
This is great! I wonder are there any plans to make a 9v version? I have bought some really great pedals in the past which don’t have a psu socket. In fact i managed to fry one of them (or at least blew the safety diode- jury is still out on that...) by plugging a psu battery connector adapter, naively assuming that it was negative ground. 😫
I've got a sample of one of them - from what I understand you should be able to add a 9V Ripcord supply and their 9V battery adaptor. They also do a polarity tester that you just plug your incoming PSU into and it has a bi-colour light for positive/negative - invaluable!
@@Galactinitus Ahem, I seem to recall seeing a 9v block adaptor in some of the documentation I have but I might be mistaken - I've just checked and couldn't find it - AAA to D only - sorry about that. Might be something in a future update from them if not!
@@ChrisSmout no more squinting at the positive/negative marks on the tip of changeable PSUs in low lighting or nervously trying to remember which colour was the one that flips the polarity on my cable adapter! 😂
@@ChrisSmout ah right... i hope so. I guess the cylindrical batteries are the obvious first step, as you rarely have to use multiple 9v’s, but still. If it’s not on the cards at the minute it would be a really good idea
The MyVolts stuff ended well, and they solve lots of problems. That said, their first Kickstarter was very long and painful. I think I will wait for the commercial product this time.
I love the idea, but it's really clumsy in execution. The best thing you could do would be to build a 12V 18650 Lithium Ion pack and use a little $6 charge, regulator module. It also annoys me that ReVolts products sell for about 6 - 8 times the price of the required parts. I know this isn't something everybody can do, but I'm a Tech 😆
That's a case we made here at myVolts as a promo for the campaign, the ReVolt connector slides into the top, fixing your power connector. You can see more about it on our kickstarter campaign page.
I mean that thing is cool and all but I imagine that the markup would make it overpriced. I bet you could solder a dc power soket to to both batter terminals it so you can power it with a dc power suply of 7.5 V or whatever depending on how many bateries you have(1.5V * nuber of bateries connected in series). it would also take up less space as well.
When Hainbach does gear advertising, he makes sure to wrap it with beautiful music and tape production tips 👍
Thank you for noticing!
so far no comments about the music. fantastic!
Whenever I watch your videos I am inspired to make music

I’ve been buying Myvolts gear for ages...love it
I have the advantage of being an electronic engineer, but I would just non-destructively mod a 2 cell lithium pack into it
3D printing for the rescue! Just whip up a compartment-filling model in CAD, cobble together the electronics while printing, assemble, and enjoy.
In some cases btw the batteries are not just in series, half of the batteries power different parts of the circuit or so.
Lol, I just signed up for college to be one. I want to make synthesizers

Interesting stuff.didnt realize they still make d cells
They are popular in larger flashlights and kids toys.

Very very COOL! 😎
Hmmm.... interesting.... now I want one of the "let's take things to bits" channels I watch to.... erm.... take one to bits. :)
what cable do you use to connect the jack to the uher?

What kind of Pocket Operator case is that?

what is that pocket operator case??

cool matryoshka
Can you control the power to manually add the low power effect on tape players?
Curious how they handled the different input voltage requirements for different number of batteries for each device...
They have ripcords for every voltage.
this is lot of plastic and new gears for avoiding one hole, a scavenged usb cable and two solders... but music is good as alway's
I have a couple of things that have to be powerd by d cells. I couldn't use them couse there is not a single shop near me that sells d cells.
if i could power my emx1 off a usb cable that would be dope asf
Hourra ⚡
batteries that cant recharge should have been a thing of the past
You must be s.o. rich.
LOL I wish I were. I am a professional musician since 2005, so I put all my money were my work is.
I have had much better luck with Birdcord Usb voltage converters. Not sure why.
