I prefer the normalized version of the connection myself because this allow= s to easily dis-connect the VCO from the bus when wanted. I often do this w= hen using the Buss Access modules on a cabinet with more than one "receiver= " from the bus. Often a situation will come up where you want to NOT have t= he VCO transposed by another signal on the bus. It also adds to some confus= ion when you have a VCO changing pitch (from the bus) when you are doing it= from another module and forget about the normalization. I would probably n= ot use the built in connection and make a separate one through the normaliz= ed jacks myself. I understand doing this on modules that only have one fron= t panel CV in like the A-111-5 though, Doing this allows it to have 2 CV in= s when normally it doesn't. Not much room to add a jack there. -James > On Oct 29, 2014, at 8:58 AM, Neil Kagan xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx [Doepfer_a= 100] <xxxxxxx_xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx> wrote: >=20 > Thanks for the incredibly quick reply Dieter - I=92m new to the Eurorack = scene and have built a 100% Deeper system which sounds incredible.
