I got a birdcord and an inexpensive Mregb power brick. Rip cords are out of stock everywhere but this works! Just make sure you don't forget the adapter.
Many times I saw something that seemed good to me without even being Popular. I know I'm not the only one who notices it. Friend you are very good. I saw some of your videos and they are very good. I wish you the best. Greetings
Hello! Thank you for the sharing this video ,really helpful 👍🏻Tell me please,how do you think - it’s safety use ravpower 26800 + Ripcord with digitakt? or have some riscs? Because many people say about glitches with some types of powerbank.I have chain - ravpower and digi but scare about it 🤦🙈
Make sure there is enough output amps from the power bank to whichever device you are powering. The 26800 is total battery storage capacity and not output amps. Thanks for watching!
I thought I'd throw in what I've learned for the Elektron Model Cycles. I'm new to synthesis and purchased this as my first groovebox with the intention of being able to travel with it. At the time, the battery handle wasn't available, so I purchased a Tripp Lite USB to DC power cable (U152-003-3P5) and an Anker power brick. It works well up until you get down to the last third of the battery - then you get some artifacting. Perhaps I just need a a battery with more consistent output through its discharge cycle (not sure what the technical term is). It works well fully charged though and it lasts longer than I've been able to play.
I, and others had a lot of issues with the MyVolts Ripcord with the Elektron boxes. I switched to Birdcord and it fires up my DT,DN and OT no problem at all. Rytm and A4 need more power thought, not managed to power them up via a battery as yet
Sorry to hear it didn’t work well for you. Mine have been working great. I’ll check out Birdcord. The MyVolts Doubler was made to work with the A4 and Rytm. it might be worth a look if you need to be on the move with one of them. thanks for watching!
I'll be excited to see this. I attempted to run my A4mkii with an external lithium pack and Sepic converter but it still ain't enough juice! Needs 24 Watts for all them analog circuits... might try again with better circuits...
I haven't tried the 'Doubler' from MyVolts yet, but I know they made it specifically for the MK2 Analogs. I'll let you know if it works! Thanks for watching.
The MyVolts website noted that the RipCord will not be back in stock for the Elektron Syntakt as it is not powerful enough to run that device. I'm curious if you have an alternate solution for powering the Syntakt on battery power. Thanks for the video.
I do! The folks at Birdcord made a specific high power (3Amp) version with the Syntakt, Analog Rytm (MK1 and MK2), Analog four (MK1 and MK2), and Octatrack (MK1 and MK2) in mind. The PD-12V. www.songbirdfx.com/products/birdcord-pd12v/ It has worked well for me in limited testing so far. *Note that it requires a higher power battery supply (USB PD Standard), and a USB C cable of your choice. It also works with the Digitakt and Digitone. Thanks for watching!
@@SURCOlive Cool! dumb question to ask! i have my hands full on new gear so I'll wait a bit until Overbridge is totally supported and some buggs corrected. Looking forward to see your review (if you decide to make one, or maybe advance tutorial.... ) 👍 👍 👍
Hello I am so happy to find this, also I want to know i I can power a Elektron Cycles? I kkow the power bar exist with batteries but I see have serious issues with some devices, I prefer power myself with a power bank thanks for your help and comments
I have an idea to put my Digitakt and Digitone into a case, midi them together and run sound through one to be used with headphones as a portable sketchpad setup. Would I need to use two power bricks, or would one with multiple outlets work?
If I buy a 12VDC power bank, do I still need this RipCord cable? Some of them come with different connectors, but I cannot find in the description whether the "+" is on the outer or inner side of the connector. Thanks for the video, btw!
More info on making a battery pack would be great. Was thinking about trying to build a 12v dc battery pack of my own, but don't want to risk killing my digitakt if I need some sort of power regulator pcb
I did this for my sp404 a while back. I've been wondering about modding the syntakt like that too, but i haven't seen the inside of it yet, so idk how much room it has inside
Thanks, I ordered a cable now. I think I wouldn't have had an issue to try out the hack to insert an akku pack but it appears to me to be sort of a secret. I am 0% interested in how good it works for whom. I would want to see how it's done. Well, it could be nowadays hesitation for publishing anything which could cause another thing. Like I would show a video how to lighten a candle and being legally prosecuted because some expert burned down a house, referring to the video. Not sure. The world turns into something ridiculous, I believe.
Technically maybe, but I would be careful about potential damage to your machine. I personally stick with Ripcord or Bird Cord (my new favorite). Thanks for watching!
Your affiliate link shows a product on Songbird but there they say “To power Elektron devices, you need a different (more powerful) Birdcord: The Birdcord PD→12V.” So Im confused…
The regular ones work for the Digitakt, Digitone only. The more powerful ones work for those two and all of the other devices too (Syntakt, Octatrack, Analog Rytm MK2, Analog Four MK2, Analog Heat). Thanks for watching!
@@SURCOlive thanks for the answer, and thanks for the videos! But let me ask something if I may (rn before purchase). You don’t list the 1010 boxes in the description. Have you stopped using them?
Man...all of your recent videos have pertained to my to-do/to-think-about items with respect to my Elektron boxes. Thanks for saving me the Googling!
So happy you’re getting something from them. Let me know if there are things you’d like to see and I’ll add them to the list. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I was thinking about it lately, that's gonna be very helpful !
Thanks Paul. Glad I could share something back your way after all I've gotten from your videos!
Luckily my mc101 is battery powered but it's much easier to carry a bank than a bunch of batteries. Great video!
Very true! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

You were probably better off with this solution, also the Power Handle is unfortunately being recalled due to posing a fire risk.
Thank you, great find!!!
Thanks for watching!
I immediatelygonna get one of those!!!! thanks you!!
Hope you like it!
Great info, thank you for sharing your findings.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

hey Eric! are you going for the new Digitakt II?
Waiting for it to arrive any day. :)

The link to the power bank was no longer working. Could you give some more information about the specs of it so I can look for something similar?
Almost any will do. Just make sure they have enough amps output. I think it is 2.5 minimum. Thanks for watching.
hey thanks for the info, i am not seeing links to the battery and the cable in the description
This is the site from the video: myvolts.com/Ripcord
This is the one I actually use now: www.songbirdfx.com/products/
Thanks so much for watching!
I have an idea to put my Digitakt and Digitone into a case, midi them together and run sound through one to be used with headphones as a portable sketchpad setup. Would I need to use two power bricks, or would one with multiple outlets work?
One with multiple outlets should work I believe as long as both meet the power draw of the two machines.
@@SURCOlive Great, thank you!
Finally an original pair of glasses. What brand is this??
Thanks! They are Amillet readers. thanks for watching!
Thank you sir!
Cool beans dude !
Glad you got something out of it! Thanks for watching!
If I buy a 12VDC power bank, do I still need this RipCord cable? Some of them come with different connectors, but I cannot find in the description whether the "+" is on the outer or inner side of the connector. Thanks for the video, btw!
I believe they will work if the amp range is correct too, but I haven't tried. Let me know if it works!
I made a custom battery pack that fits inside my Digitakt. Rechargeable and can even be used to power other 12v devices
That's amazing! I'd love to see that!!
post a link plz
More info on making a battery pack would be great. Was thinking about trying to build a 12v dc battery pack of my own, but don't want to risk killing my digitakt if I need some sort of power regulator pcb
I did this for my sp404 a while back. I've been wondering about modding the syntakt like that too, but i haven't seen the inside of it yet, so idk how much room it has inside
My Digitone is solar & USB battery powered. Literally a deserted island music making & mastering machine.
That's awesome!
Does anyone know of a good solution for battery power that is safe to use with the Analog Four mkii?
I've been loving my Birdcords
thanks for this. i wish they would just make devices that could do this, without 3rd party stuff. some of us cant make music in our homes
Thanks Eric, great info! Where do you publish your music?
Glad you enjoyed the video! Here is a link to my artist page on Beatport: www.beatport.com/artist/eric-bingham/393602 Thanks for watching

Not sure. The world turns into something ridiculous, I believe.
Can it be a generic 12 volt 1 amp adapter?
Technically maybe, but I would be careful about potential damage to your machine. I personally stick with Ripcord or Bird Cord (my new favorite). Thanks for watching!
@@SURCOlive thank you for responding-
-why do you prefer bird cord?
Little trick before you change power bank due to continuous restarts ---> Set SETTINGS - SYSTEM - LED INTENSITY: LOW 😉🖖
Awesome tip! Thanks!
... USB to 12Vdc is the only practical way to lower the EMF down to reasonable levels.
Thanks for watching!

@@tiffanzsolti this video is actually older so I wasn’t using them yet. :)
Consider XTPower that have a settable 12V Power output as well so you don't need that extra conversion.
I will check it out!
You can buy generic Ripcord USB power cables for less than $10 eBay 👍
Yes you can... But not something I would do personally.
👍
Glad you liked it!
Useless info you’re not saying which you need for which boxes.
