Eml synthesizers

I sort of answered my own question now, but it caused another question. I learned that the 
OSC3/External knob in the Output mixer drones OSC3 unless something is plugged into 
the external jack in the output mixer. BUT if something is plugged into that jack, all other 
sound ceases. I can no longer hear any of the oscillators. Does the 101 do this as well? Or 
is there something I'm missing?

Thanks!
Heath
