Not bass related....Drum machine...

Post by los_sentidos »

Someone has lent me a drum machine to play around with and it has no leads...It's a Boss DR 202 - it looks like it has Midi Outputs and another set of leads that you can run from it (With L&R on the connectors) I'm not sure what leads I should buy/ask for to I can hook it up to a PA in stereo so I can jam over some loops. Any ideas. I'm a bit of a cabbage when it comes to leads/technical things like this?!?

Any ideas?
Tell me does it feel the same when you've set upon a change but your heart's in the old times?

Are they small RCA plugs? Haven't worked with too many drum machines, but most equipment I've seen has 1 of the following 3 types of audio connectors: XLR, 1/4" or RCA.

If it is something weird, Radio Shack sometimes has the components to piece together weird adapters. Sometimes they actually have someone in there who knows a bit more than how to check out an item, and they can offer some help. But that phenomenon seems to be getting more and more rare!

Good luck! Image

Cheers Ed, I have sen 1/4" mentioned on the net so I'm guess as you too mention it that's the one. I'll try and have a word with someone in store - I just needed some idea...I know what a jack to jack is and that's about it.

:p

Just noticed you are in the UK, so 1/4" is in some old measurement system we use here inthe States..."English" is it called? Image

In metric that 6.35 mm, and I'm not sure you have Radio Shack stroes over the small pond... Image 1/4" plugs are the same size as the output jacks on a guitar or bass...but again, I'm not sure if European models get modified with different plugs.
