Ken: check the archives! We had over 20 emails debating the mixer topology.
Basically, the splitting jack turns out to be the best, because of ∗panel
space∗
to keep the mixer in a 2U wide format.
As far as having inverted stuff: point well taken. That's why on CV inputs I
use
"reversing attenuators" when possible. This allows an inverted response.
Inverted
audio has no meaning, but you can play all sorts of tricks with inverted CV
sources.
