It was pretty straightforward and works fine. The little Roland box that mounts on the instrument contains simple preamps (single opamp stage, I forget how much gain but I have the schematics at home). The signals on the 13-pin cable are unbalanced, so I chose to plug them into a four-channel Stewart DI box I had lying around just to balance and isolate them from the run to the mixer. Next up, I plan to build the balancing circuitry into the bass along with a crosspoint router; I have two polyphonic pickups (optical and magnetic) and three or four destinations (GI-20, VBass, mixer, and a spare in case Santa brings me a second VBass). The idea is to process each string separately, or to overlap timbres, or... Oh, in case it isn't obvious the volume knob doesn't control the audio level, it just sends a control voltage down one of the wires. Oh oh, the preamp requires power (+/- 7V) which is normally sent from the GK synth or processor up to the instrument. My mixer tap assumes that a GK device is providing power. I guess by now you can gather that the Balin comment from one of my shows would be "nice sound check, I kept waiting for an intro...") -Alex S. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex Stahl [mailto:alex@pixar.com] > Sent: 29 November 2004 22:23 > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: Re: best 13 pin replacement cable? > > > I made my own using parts from digikey.com, and it was a lot cheaper, > but I wouldn't recommend that route unless you need something special > (I wanted a breakout/splitter cable to send the individual string > signals to a mixer as well into a GK device.) > > -Alex S. > > > On Nov 29, 2004, at 1:49 PM, Legion wrote: > >> >> Was just wondering if anyone knew of a cheaper alternative to the >> roland >> 13 pin DIN cable used for their current line of guitar synths.
