Output send/return

[Roman Nuss]

Wanna use a Korg Kaoss Pad Quad. Got no send/return on controller.

So plan is: master cinch OUT (controller) --> cinch IN (Korg) ---> cinch OUT (Korg) --> Somekind of a mixer/splitter with two different outputs: one pair of cinch OUT (goes to my power amplifier) and one pair of xlr (goes to monitor boxes)

To summ up the question:

need a cheap way of splitting a cinch (RCA) to a cinch (RCA) and 2 xlrs (balanced)
must be good sound quality
with cheap I mean less than 100 euros

I think Y-Adapters lose a lot of quality. So basicly a box with same output possibilites that some controllers have - master (chinch) and additional xlr (balanced master)

Would this piece work? : http://www.thomann.de/gb/art_cleanbox_pro.htm

Or doesnt it mix one IN to different OUTs?

Bump. Need a suggestion really fast.

What is a chinch?

no it won't work... you could maybe "jack" your traktor outputs into ableton then with a two in two out soundcard hook your kp3 into the loop then "jack" back to traktor. It would be a pain in the ass if you asked me.

You can also use it as a midi controller with these controls. Here is a pretty cool way to map it in VDJ, it would not be possible to map it that way in traktor.

"RCA connector, sometimes called a phono connector or cinch connector" - yeah, my fault its cinch not chinch.

Im not going to use a Kp3 - Im talking about a Kaoss Pad Quad. All I need is a kind of a "mixer" that will split signal into cinch (RCA) and XLR from RCA.

So all I need is a kind of adapter from RCA to RCA and XLR

I think Y-Adapters lose a lot of quality.

Why? Have you tried it? It'll cost you next to nothing (<£20) to buy 'em and try it out. I've always used Y-splitters without any major problems.

[Roman Nuss]

you cant splitt a signal theoreticaly without losing intensity. you need additional preamp to not lose quality (additional power plug for the adaptor)

[Patch]

Come off it.

Sounds to me like it would work but you'd be effecting the master output which kinda sucks.
