and all other possibilities. No patch made within the serge system
will damage the circuitry. Nor will patching present danger to the
user. However, things might get out of hand with outputs patched
to each other, which can cause some of the circuitry to temporarily
stop working the way it is intended to. This might be a welcome
new behaviour, or it might just be nothing. But I would encourage
students to explore the many possibilities without resorting to
these type of connections (but do not inhibit them with fear of
a "wrong" connection, the occasional accidental output to output
patch is part of learning). They will get more in terms of
education and will not run out of things to try. Have fun!
