I noticed while perusing Amazon for a myvoltz ripcord to power Digitakt from a power bank while on the move , that

usb to Digitakt cable options available and with even more review stars.
Has anyone had problems with competitor products?
Also, are there any other cables I should pick up for it while I’m there?

I’m excited about the Digitakt and was thinking it would be nice to figure out a good portable power source for it. I already have a nice battery powered monitor that can power my midi devices through USB and some other battery powered gear. It would be neat if something would work well with the Digitakt. I guess it’s maybe hard to know without knowing the wattage of the unit? Anyone try this with any other elektron gear? I mostly just use stuff at home but I always like the option.

Don’t forget the 2.5mm Adapter .
