Re: is output to output very bad with 1/8"?

2004-12-19 by grantrichter2001

Because the Serge uses unsheilded banana cables, the output 
impedance is very low in order to "absorb" any noise on the 
cable. The resistor value is typically 330 ohm.

The 1/8" systems use shielded cables and an output resistor of 
1K or the equivalent. This higher output resistor allows the 
outputs to be connected together to form a passive mixer at the 
output. It also protects the outputs when drivng a signal into a 
shorted patch cable (which happens).

This will not work for 1 volt per octave outputs like the quantizer 
output of the Sequantizer because the additional load will mess 
up the scaling. But it should not damage it electrically.

The Sequantizer gate outputs are diode isolated and designed 
to be connected together to form what is called a "wire-OR". This 
is also true of the clock output of the Noise Ring, but the Noise 
Ring has a voltage divider after the diode.

something called "rapid composers consortium event" 
something that is created within 24 hours, I only learneda bout it, 
3 hours before hand.  So this was it in 3 hours, all wiard for synth 
sounds, with some effectts from a sony dps v55(not some, but  a 
lot, lol:-))

more of it, It's a really bad song, but maybe somone will enjoy a 
bleep or 2 from it.  sadly enough i used a preset on it ! lol the 
"pretty arpeggios" one.  Also a picture of the wiard over here
