Re: Serge + Doepfer MAQ 16/3 sequencer?

that is clear.. but each system/synth/seq's 1/4 or 1/8 jack will have its own ground on the ring of the connector.. all the grounds get ganged together to be connected to the serge PSU.. so i'm just trying to understand the purpose of the multi grounds in this case.. if I wanted to connect my SAM16, TR606 and Flame Clockwork to the SERGE using this MOTM adapter, then I'd need to connect all the grounds together on the MOTM and then connect the result to the SERGE PSU GND.. kinda redundant
even in the case where you'd be using two different banana systems, like in my case; SERGE and Modcan.. you'd still need to connect the ground on both PSUs together.. hence.. no need for multi gnds here either.. can anyone clarify the need for these? am i missing something?
tks :)
