[sdiy] Grounding of inputs/outputs for modules

[Tom Wiltshire]

Hi All,

A quick question if I may:

I'm building some Eurorack synth modules. Normally when wiring up jack sockets, I'd have the sleeve grounded, and the signal on the tip. Is the ground necessary for synth modules? Seems to me that with everything on the same power supply (and therefore the same ground) I'm going to be creating lots of little ground loops if I connect it.

What's the standard practice for this?

Thanks,
Tom
