Modular Synth Panels

Some normalizations can be very useful, like the connections to the IN, 
CLOCK IN, and OUT on the S&H in my Wogglebug:

Another good use for normaling of CV inputs is for the Attack, Decay, 
Release times on a VC envelope generator like the Oakley, so that one 
input to the Attack VC propagates to the other parameters.

One that did not work so great was my mod to the MOTM-390 dual LFO to 
normal the TRI output of the first to the VC input of the second.  I 
tended to forget that just turning up the FM pot would introduce 
weirdness.  Confusing if you forget about it.

The Stooge format Oakley Multimix can get the royal normalizing 
treatment, as described here:

My Multimixes use that.  It can be confusing at times, when you patch 
something to Input #1 and then all three pots route that signal with 
optional inversion to the MIX out.  But in this case I'll take the 
possible confusion for the benefits.  Fortunately, it easy to undo a 
normal connection that you don't like:  All it takes is a pair of 
diagonal cutters!
