Okay guys,

I just installed my 3rd '800 and decided it's time to try my
first attempt at normalizing the gate signals from the
MIDI->CV unit to the GATE input of all 3 MOTM-800 modules.

Problem is that the normalized gate signal must be broken
when a jack is inserted in ∗either∗ the GATE or the TRIG
input. Right now, if I give the top lug of the '800's GATE
input a normalled gate signal, and insert a jack in the
TRIG input as well, I get (of course) a mixed signal. This
means that the TRIG would be more or less useless when
normalizing the GATE input of an '800.

Is there an easy way to fix this?

Another question. I was advised to use RG-174 coax to carry
the normalled signals. Why? Wouldn't I only be using the
coax part?

Thanks,
Robert
