Stackable Patch cables
« on: October 16, 2014, 04:29:04 pm »
Hey guys

In the new Microbrute SE promotion video you can see these great short stackable patch cables. The ones that come with the synth are not stackable.
I asked around in some music stores but they only offer super long cables (20, 60 and 90cm)

Is there anywhere I could find these short ones?

I took a screenshot for reference here -->  http://cl.ly/image/1A3Q1L3O2e27/Stacable.png


Any help is appreciated

I assume that Arturia partnered with TipTop Audio and that they're made just for them, as they're usually made for Eurorack applications and the MicroBrute length would just be too short for nearly everything.

As an alternative, you can buy Intellijel Hubs, it splits the signal into three and I want to say that Bruno mentioned something back when the MicroBrute first came out that it'd handle being split 2-3 times before there were issues. The hubs are $10 and available from most modular retailers, compared to $9 for stackcables.

Or maybe Arturia will start selling them direct with a wonderful $41.80 shipping like with the patch card blanks o.O

I'd certainly like a set of the stackable cables, AND the gig bag I've seen promoted with the new microbrutes. At least make them available to distributors so I can get them here in Australia without ridiculous shipping costs.

I found this:  http://www.ctrl-mod.com/category-s/1847.htm
Can't help you with shipping costs (ridiculous, wonderful, or otherwise).  :(

The ones that come with the MicroBrute SE are indeed supposed to be the stackable cables; that was a major point in both demos and the marketing push.

And mine are stackable, just as advertised.

Something went wrong in your synth's shipment, it sounds like. I'd contact Arturia support, and maybe send a photo of the cables you got, and I'm betting they would be willing to send you a pair of stackable patch cables.

The stackable cables that came with my Microbrute SE are clones of the TipTop Audio ones, but not nearly of the same quality.  One of mine was faulty straight out of the box. Instead I use a couple of the shortest TipTop Audio stackable cables.

These are a bit longer (and green!), but they are much better quality and work well.
