This applies to all kind of connections no matter if they are established
via patch cables or the bus.
For example: if you have two A-110 or A-111 sitting on the same bus as the
A-190 and you patch a third A-110 to the CV output of the A-190 you have 3
VCOs. In this case this connection is recommended:

A-190 -> A-185-1 (or A-185-2)
A-185-1/2 -> bus (to the two VCOs sitting on the bus) and to the third VCO
(via patch cable at the front)

Attention: The default connection between the A-190 CV and the bus has to be
interrupted in this case as you would generate a short circuit between the
CV outs of the A-190 and the A-185-1/2. Only if the A-190 and the A-185-1/2
are on different bus boards it is not necessary to interrupt the A-190 CV.
