Several things make it a unique centerpiece of any modular setup. First, it is a through-zero FM oscillator which means that it goes into negative frequencies when patched appropriately. It is a pretty darn stable oscillator. Second, in addition to standard oscillator outs (pulse

According to Serge himself, connecting outputs will potentially blow something up. Though the chance of this is extremely rare, I think he said one chance out of a thousand or something like that. If you find that you've connected outputs together, just unconnect them. Stephen __
