Yes, the Make Noise Format Jumbler acts as a mult. But it also acts as a jack converter from Banana to 1/8 to 1/4 while also having a grounding banana jack for the Serge system. If you are interfacing your Serge system with EuroRack that module would be hella useful.

Agreed. Early Serges had mults, and they can make patches tidier,
but Serge stopped providing them 30 years ago and I don't hear
many complaints.

Having to include an earth cable to the power supply earth works,
but it's a clumsy solution, and it often leads to confusion and
questions on this list.

A jack to banana adaptor is just easier and more obvious. They
used to be available (e.g. CV interface module) but presumably
got dropped because most people don't want 8 adaptors taking
up 3" of panel and costing $240! Two or three adaptors on the
black panel seems like a much better idea.

I think many on the list would agree with that. It would be good
to see a range of small centre modules so you still have a limited
degree of customisation available. Maybe a C/M version, a CV or
audio mixer, jack/banana adaptor, gate/pulse combiner?

And if they match the rest of the panels in style and color,
that would please a few of us...
