According to Serge himself, connecting outputs will potentially blow something up. Though
the chance of this is extremely rare, I think he said one chance out of a thousand or something
like that. If you find that you've connected outputs together, just unconnect them.

sorry to sound like a idiot, but does this mean I can stack the same
output to different inputs? i.e 3 Saw waves output from one PCO ?

Yes. One output to may inputs is fine.

As for the technical side of things, the components op-amp used inside the
synthesizers often are rated for driving a short circuit indefinitely,
though driving another output may be a little worse than a short circuit in
some circumstances. Add to that most outputs are protected by current
limiting resistors and that will further protect them.

Note that this DOES NOT apply to Rex designed modules, specifically the
Boolean Logic and the Pulse Divider, both of which use static sensitive
chips and employ absolutely no protection whatsoever (either static
protection or over current/short circuit protection). The good news there is
that the chips used are very common, and socketed, so when they blow they
are easy to replace.
