On page 47 of Roland's "Practical Synthesis for Electronic Music" (which is basically the Roland System 100M 'manual') it states "The multiple jacks cannot be used in place of a mixer. If two outputs are connected to the same multiple jack set, the result will be what is effectively a short circuit to both outputs which could cause damage." The first part I buy (obviously) -- it's not a mixer. But I never thought that accidentally connecting two outputs to a multiple could cause damage. It happens -- that one puts two outs into a multiple -- even if you try hard not to. (In fact did it last night -- didn't get the result that I wanted, I tracked down problem and corrected). I've never noticed any damage, never worried about it. In fact the manufacturer of my other modular (Blacet) says don't worry about that sort of thing -- his machine can take it. Is the 100M a delicate beast? Best Robert
