can connecting ins together be dangerous?

can connecting ins together be dangerous?

2008-06-16 by kkonkkrete

what I want to achieve: take a clock trigger out from one (non-banana)
modular system and use it to drive several trigger ins on a serge
system simultaneously (sequencer clock, triggering envelopes from the
timegen clock, etc.)

what I was thinking I could do: connect the trig output from my
non-banana system to one trig input on the serge (say the sequencer
clock input), and then mult that input banana jack to other trigger
inputs on the serge.

BUT: this would be connecting several ins together. I know you
shouldn't connect outs together, but what about ins? How else could I
achieve this?

thanks,
KKonk.eat.

    that's the beauty of a Serge. . you can do that sort of stuff. I'm sure others will give you a more technical answer with some caveats but that's the short answer. I used to do it all the time. I've had as many as five cables to a stack going to different "ins".
    have fun
    kind regards

    ah, yes. I should have thought this through before posting. I
    suppose any time you mult from one output to several ins, you are
    connecting all the ins together! So I guess this shouldn't be a
    problem, right?
