Normalling

2000-01-26 by Dave Bradley

To Normal or Not to Normal, that is the question...

The cool thing about Ken's idea is that it is easy for people who want that
mult normalling to run a couple of wires and do it themselves, while other
people who don't want normalling needn't be burdened with it.

I personally plan to end up with a system capable of 4 voice polyphony, and
I intend to normal the crap out of it. Maybe even mount pin blocks over the
jack fields on each module to make it easier to change normalling. It is of
course the responsibility of the system owner to remember what they have
done behind the panel!

Good point!  I hadn't thought about that.  I should get the proverbial
double-eye-poke.  Although I'd still rather have 2x4+1x6 than 3x4.  ;)

Actually Paul,  If you don't care about the power distribution panel on the
back screwing up the bracket spacing I was looking at, the standard 1U
panel supports 4 X 4 with Paul's standard spacing.  And, as that kooky guy
Dave B pointed out, those two four bangers are easily converted to a single
6 by the insertion of a short cable between the two.  So you have  a 4 X 4
when you want it and a 2 x 4 + 1 X 6 when you want that.  And, all with out
any of that normaling that you object to.

BTW, John Barlow and have been exploring some normalling ideas for Larry's
magic bus off list.  However, I sent him so many ideas to think about his
brain exploded and he cursed my typing skills.
