As I've been pouring over Buchla schematics, something just dawned on  
me...

Would it be fair to say Buchla is not a fan of normalled connections?

I just realized I don't recall seeing him use any on any of the  
schematics I've looked at.

Maybe that's part of the overall philosophy of trying to make minimal  
assumptions of how a patch should be put together.
