There was a bit of summer weather this week, but it was quickly followed up by one last stab of winter.
So I'm hiding from the clouds outside by following up on some little details on my music setup. In particular, that one mismatched fader knob on my TR-6S.
I'm sure that you can understand when I say that this just won't do. I have no idea what piece of equipment this knob was stolen off of, but it's gotta go.
I can't just leave the bare metal stem, though, and luckily I don't have to.
It wasn't especially easy to find this replacement, but I did eventually manage, and it matches perfectly.
And then there's just one last thing. This unit is powered through its USB B connector, and as you may know, USB B does not exactly have the most positive engagement when it's plugged in. I haven' thad any issues with it so far, but since this box has a battery compartment I figured that slapping in some cells would give me a reliable backup for whenever the USB cable wiggles itself loose while I'm messing around.
NiMH batteries won't leak over time like alkaline cells inevitably do, and the self-discharge rate is pretty low, so I can pretty much just stick these in here and forget about them. It's cheap insurance against accidental power disruptions.
