  1. Hopefully Ripcord did solve the problem with the interference frequencies while being plugged to electricity.
    Even the original power supply does a zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ….
    Btw. every KORG product does have this problem!

    1. I found that it depends on the power adapter, I got one from the volca unofficial accessories site and it works much better than the “official” one for some reason.

  2. This is freaking awesome. Instead of a power board for my pedals, I can put in a USB port powered from one plug. I would want to be sure the right USB hub was used that could handle all the different charges. I hope they make hub recommendations or include one in their range.

  3. There are portable USB battery chargers 19V 3A, 19V 4A with modular tips to fit variety synths & electronic devices

    1. Ripcord is totally flexible – it lets you power gear from *any* USB port – so you can get other voltages from even a cheap USB power bank, you don’t need a special expensive one.

      1. Does this mean I can power from my 5V 2A $25 USB battery charger. Would be awesome.
        How so since many synths require at least 19V 4A.
