Sounds like a way to blow stuff up ... I mean I have some limiters here where the CV is 0 to -200DC ... and it's DC coupled which makes me worry even more.Yeah, I suspect that bringing this stuff up to the patch bay allowed someone to discover ducking, dynamic EQ and multi-band compression.This is what I'm going for ... I just would like to figure out how to lay out the jacks so they're logical. The "flow" mentality from top to bottom is making the most sense right now.Do you normal the 'preffered' sidechain insert points?

So if the jacks are even-numbered you do the over/under ... but if you have jacks in sets of three, you'll run them down a row left to right?My patchbays all have programmable normalling so this isn't an issue, onceI get my head screwed on straight about the obvious stuff.

the edac programmer plugs can normal any pin on the top row to any pin on the bottom row.Some are full normal programmable so you can normal any pin to any pin, which is enough to make me get sick. It might be helpful for some things though (mult-normals ???)It's not as punk/versatile as 66 type punchblocks but it works.
