permenantly fix usb cable into controllers usb port?
at home i like using maschine on my lap on the couch and my problem is that the damn usb cable finds its way out of maschine, and after a couple of times the program freaks out freezes and needless to say - its a real flow killer.
so my question is simple - will using solder or epoxy, on the outside of the usb plug once its plugged into the controller, will that damage anything more then the resale value of maschine?
Did you try putting some paper or something thin on the side of the connector?
Hellyeah that’ll damage the resale value, that’s insane! Why dont’t you just duct tape the cable onto the chassis? Very non destructive and will get the job done.
or go all out and do the environmental seal-locked heavy duty USB thing like on the Mojo http://www.moldover.com/buy.html
ha i have no intention on selling it. ive sold my fair share of synthesizers and drum machines in hard times but this is a keeper. its an annoying thought that a musical instrument uses something as flimsy as a standard usb cable, and keeps you bound to a desk/flat stable surface
for a moment i didnt follow what you meant but thats actually something im going to go give a try right now…
Fuck resell value, what about when the cable breaks? That’ll be a pain in the ass. Duct tape solves all life’s problems.
Duct tape is like the Force. It has a Light side, a Dark side and it holds the universe together …
Haha! haven’t heard that before. QFT.
I think it was Yoda that first said that.
Use a two part adhesive like mitre bond and let me know how you get on, and im pretty sure with a good pull youd be able to break the seal too if worst comes to worse
If you have a hot glue gun you can use that, pretty strong but will come away if you really want it to
