Well the general theory behind that being no good is you don't simply
have 2 outputs going into one input (without using a proper mixer)
the same connection also results in each output sending a hot signal
back into the other output. At that point it depends on the circuits
and how the behave with an external signal going into an out.
Generally many modules aren't affected but some can be especially
with a strong signal.

On the other hand certainly in the Buchla world, which of course had
a degree of influence on Serge, I understand it's fairly a common
practice with trigger pulses from multiple sources being "stacked" on
an input and the modules are okay with it.
