FAQs

What type of connectors do Nazca Noodles cables use?

Nazca Noodles cables use standard 3.5mm TS (Tip-Sleeve) mono mini-jack connectors on both ends, commonly referred to as 'Eurorack style' patch cables.

Are these cables stereo?

No, these are mono TS cables. For stereo signals, you would need a different type of cable, such as a 3.5mm TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) cable, depending on your equipment's specific needs.

How do I choose the right length for my setup?

Consider the distance between the modules you intend to connect. For adjacent modules, shorter lengths (like 15cm or 30cm) are often sufficient. For modules further apart or for looping cables around other components, longer lengths like 50cm or 100cm may be more practical. This pack provides 50cm cables, suitable for moderate distances.

Can I use these cables for audio and control voltage (CV) signals?

Yes, Nazca Noodles patch cables are suitable for both audio signals and control voltage (CV) signals common in modular synthesis.

How many cables are included in this pack?

This specific product listing is for a pack containing five (5) Nazca Noodles patch cables.

What is the benefit of the different colors?

The different colors are designed to help users visually organize their modular synthesizer setups. This allows for quicker identification of different signal types (e.g., audio, modulation, clock) or connections to specific modules, aiding in workflow and troubleshooting.

Where are these cables made?

Nazca Noodles is a brand developed in partnership between Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers and Cre8audio.

Troubleshooting

No sound or signal passing through the cable.

Ensure the cable is fully inserted into both the output and input jacks. Verify that the correct modules and ports are being used for your intended signal path. Test the cable with a different connection or try a known working cable to isolate the issue.

Intermittent signal loss or crackling.

Check the cable for visible damage, such as kinks or fraying. Clean the 3.5mm connectors on both the cable and the equipment jacks with a dry cloth. Try a different cable to see if the problem persists.

Cable feels too loose or too tight in the jack.

While designed for a secure fit, some variation can occur. If too loose, it may not make proper contact. If too tight, be careful not to force it. Inspect the jacks on your equipment for any debris or damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your modular synthesizer or audio equipment has standard 3.5mm TS (Tip-Sleeve) Eurorack-style jacks.
  2. Connect one end of the Nazca Noodles cable to the output jack of a module and the other end to the input jack of another module.
  3. Confirm that the cable is securely seated in both jacks for optimal signal transmission.

Compatibility:

  • Primary: Eurorack modular synthesizers and other equipment utilizing 3.5mm TS mono mini-jack patch points.
  • Secondary: Compatible with any device featuring standard 3.5mm mono unbalanced audio or control voltage (CV) jacks.

Care:

  • Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable to prevent internal wire damage.
  • Store cables neatly when not in use.
  • Clean the connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dirty. For the cable itself, use a slightly damp cloth with water, and ensure it is completely dry before use. Avoid harsh chemicals.
