The Y splitter sounds like a great idea.  Anyone who has used a banana modularrealizes how quick and effective that method of patching can be despitemisgivings about possible noise pickup in the unshielded cables.  Does anyone already have a source forinexpensive and reliable Y splitter adapters?

I’ve thought about the normalizedCV/Gate bus and believe you could do this with just a simple PCB mounted insidethe cabinet or even a barrier strip. You could use a 910 multiple as the distribution center, probablybreaking the link in the middle to fit CV and Gate on one module.  Emu modulars had something like this.  Take the multiple signals internally toa PCB or barrier strip, then connect them to the NCswitched jack tabs on the appropriate 1V/oct and gate jacks.  The multiple gives you extra outputs topatch anywhere in your system.  Dueto the distances involved you’d probably want to use shielded cables forthe internal 1V/oct signal.  Hasanyone done this?  One inconvenienceI can foresee is soldering to the jack tab requires putting a fixed lengthwire to your normalized patch bay, so reconfiguration of modules within acabinet might be limited.  Maybesome quick disconnect type connector should placed on the wires so that thisoption is more flexible and expandable?
