The max amperage that the MyVolts 19V Ripcord can deliver is 0.63A. The MPC One expects to see 3.4 amps.
can you specify this a bit please - even for the amateurs? since i don't think, the
one "expects" the full 3,4 amps all the time.
specs on the power adapter (eu, 230 volts): 19 volts, 3,4 amps, 65 watts.
specs on the ripcord adapter: 19 volt, 0,47 amps as output. input 5v and 2,4 amps max.
that would make the ripcord deliver 8.9 watts. according to rik van hegen

one needs between 6 and 12 watts (i did not measure this for myself so far). so there is a risk of a crash unfortunately with heavy use (another user had the device crashing with a big project) but also the ripcord is enough for small projects (like mine, just playing around, less samples) and the
one does not simply pull 65 watts all the time.
so my remaining question then is, what harm can be done to the
one, when it is underpowered (undervolted, brownout?) and stops working?
thx and greetings!
