[sdiy] Dynamic numbers of Mults

[Ian Smith]

Hey Dave,
I think that sounds like a good idea in addition to the normal groups of 4 multiples. And yes, you would need a normally open switch on the jacks. Though for the first jack, you wouldn't need a switch (because that's where everything starts anyway).
Has anyone thought to do multiples with attenuators on them?

> I had the idea that it would be handy to build a mult with a string of jacks that only sent a signal to the next jack in line when a plug was inserted.  So, if you had, say 16 jacks in a row, and you plugged a source into #1, that signal would only go to #2 when a plug was inserted there.  That signal would pass on to # 3 when a plug was inserted there.  If you skip #4 no signal is passed on, so then a source plugged into #5 could then be passed on to #6 when a plug was inserted there.  This way, I'm not stuck with mulitples of 4.  It could be as few as 2, or as many as 16, as long as you skip a jack in the chain between multipled groups.
