Making pin patch cables

The 4700 uses pin sockets for the CV signals and 1/8 inch tele jacks for audio signals. I need a few new cables of the pin type, so I decided to make them myself.


I ordered parts from Elfa which ships to some european countries. Perhaps it is possible to the same parts from other distributors. This is the parts I use:

Cable:
Part number 55-502-54. This is a nice flexible cable that seems to work well with the choosen plugs

Plugs:
Black pn 40-005-01
Red pn 40-005-27
Blue pn 40-213-10
Yellow pn 40-213-11
Gray pn 40-213-12
Green pn 40-213-13

Soldering is straight forward. Just don't forget to mount the hoods on the cable before soldering the plugs!
