hello,

the only thing with banana jacks is that they
have no ground connection. afaik the banana plugs are
a bit thicker than 1/8 inch plugs, so it is not that
easy to replace the 1/8 jacks on the a100 modules.
if you want to mix serge and doepfer modules, you should
consider building a jack conversion module
(or buying it from another manufacturer). i don't know if
adapters would work well because of the missing ground
connection.

best wishes
