I have just been reading the A157 page on the website and I see the A157-2 and A157-3 modules have been revised, I see there are now only single outputs on the A157-2, I was wondering is it going to be possible to be able to daisychain 2 or more A157-2's together to give you multiple outs? I know this would mean buying extra modules but I could certainly use multiple outs.

If you make yourself a suitable ribbon cable with two sockets, the you should be able to stack the outputs. Pressing a socket on a ribbon cable is really easy, no soldering skills are required. It is helpful to have a vise for it, but I even did it once with two spoons.

Or maybe stackcables might help? Sent from my phone

I admit, that stack cables look tempting, but they can cause ugly
mechanical stress to the socket, if you bend the stacked jack down.

I know this would mean buying extra modules but I could certainly > use multiple outs. The original idea was to have two sockets for each trigger outputs. But after a couple of workshops and exhibitions it turned out that most user would prefer only one socket per trigger to save front panel space. And there are only a few applications where two sockets are required (e.g. triggering a sampler and envelope). And if required a multiple can be used (e.g. A-180-2). That's why we decided to offer only one socket in the final version. Best wishes Dieter Doepfer

The second rule of stackables - never stack more than 2 high. There isn’t a patch you can make that requires it. It is a wire - use the other end instead. -James
