to reduce cable clutter, and to improve the patching speed
for 'standard' synth sounds, I'm thinking of normalizing
some of the most obvious routes using the NC connectors of
the jack. I'm thinking of stuff like:
> - MIDI CV out -> Larry's 822.
Robert, This will work fine. Use the TOP switch contact on the "A IN" on
the 822. The "B" in is already normalled from the A if not jacked if you
built it to my instructions. So, only one connection from the MIDI CV is
needed. Your only problem will be if you want to use 2 outputs from the
MIDI CV to the 822. You will need to remove the "normalled" connection from
A down to the "B IN" TOP switch contact.
> - '822 -> 1V/Oct of '300.
I see no problem with that. The 300 has a jumper from the TOP to BEVEL on
the 1/v octave jack. You will need to remove that before you connect your
822 output to the TOP.
> - MIDI Gate out -> EG1 and EG2
Same deal to the TOP on the gate jack. There is no "normal" connection on
the gate switch.
> - LFO -> '300 PWM
This one looks good too as far as I can see. But, you have to predetermine
which LFO wave you want as the default.

freedom when you want to overrule the default routes?
Looks to me like you retain full override capability.

Id use RG-174 coax.

modules so that they can be removed from the cabinet?
That's a good idea IMO. Any decent connector should do. I'd opt for
something light and non conductive on the outside. I'd probably use molex.
