Not to rain on a parade but iām genuinely curious since āis it battery powered?ā comes up a lot with gear these daysā¦
Are people often making music in a location that has no power to plug into? The only thing I can think of is like flights and bus/train. Even those are slowly getting power integrated into them.
There are a lot of applications. I travel a lot and like to play around with it on transatlantic flights. Itās great for live performances too, as you can power a second device and be independent of venueās power and bring less power supplies with you. Just less cords in general. Of course you can easily live without it, but itās just more convenient in some situations.
The freedom of moving round with a box and just headphones without any worry of yanking the power out is a nice thing. I only know it from my brief time with an mpc live and it was great. The biggest benefit to me would be sitting on the sofa without trailing wires across the room, then being able to just put it on the side without someone yanking it off the table. It also depends if youāre the sort of person whoāll go out on your own to sit somewhere nice and make a beat. I take my iPad but I can see something digitakt sizes being good to throw in a bag.
Location can inspire, doesnāt even have to be anywhere special. Iāve seen dope videos of people jamming on 404s in subway stations. Iād much rather watch that than another downwards shot of someoneās desk
Iām not sure whatās inside this battery Pack, so I canāt guarantee. Doesnāt seem to include BMS board.
Youāre not limited by 3 batteries, you can connect 6 if you put them in two parallel 3-battery 12v packs. Thereās not much space for more, though and Iām not sure extra 5-6 hours are worth another 200 grams of weight.
There might be bigger sizes, I donāt know, do the research. Technically they may exist. But the bigger the battery, the more it weights. Thereās no way around physics. 21700 were acceptable in both weight and performance in my case, and easy to get online.
Iāve flown multiple times both over Europe and transatlantic. Digitakt went through airport scanners but everything looked completely normal to airport security. Only thing ā it was always in hand luggage.
No, I mean actual spot welding, but this requires a special welding machine. Soldering also works, but itās not advised to overheat the battery so welding is considered cleaner and safer.
