[sdiy] Serge and multiples

[harry]

The words... "safely" apply here

Most Modular outputs have a 1K resistor in series for fault current limiting.
If you short two outputs together, you indeed have a crude... and maybe arguably
"safe" mixer.

I (OTOH) would NEVER do it this way... perferring not to stress an output that
much.
But why not a Y cord or Y jacks/plug... with 10K resistors inline. THAT would be
safe.
Or even patch cords that stack with a additional series resistor. That would work
too.

OK for everything except critical pitch CV....
