This message is directed at crustypaul, but I thought I'd post it here for anyone to read rather than doing a PM!

I've seen on some of your drum machines and keyboards that you have added 'Patchable Switches' along side a patch bay, (I'm guessing they are linked to the nearby sockets because of the indicating white lines) I'm basically asking how and why here, what can you do with these, what's different from just standard patching, is it worth doing?

Well, if you wanna turn bends on and off without having to pull out your patch leads, that's the way to do it.

indeed, all you do is wire one socket to one side of an SPST switch and another socket to the other side. If you take a cable from a patchbay socket to a switch socket, and then from the other switch socket back to the patchbay then you've got yourself a connection that can be turned on or off at the flick of a switch.

cool, I understand, handy  Smiley

I just managed to get a vss-200 so I will try it out this time. I tried building a magnetic patchbay on a vss-30 which didn't work out too well, the magnets I used were too powerful and tend to either pull each other together or push each other off connections if placed too close. I was kinda gutted  Sad it shouldn't be too hard to rectify it though

I posted a question about this recently too... And I still don't really understand how to wire that... Maybe it's the language barrier or maybe I'm not that brilliant I thought I was...  Wink

If I have four rows of five sockets (banana jacks), and those five jacks are connected to five different points inside my sk-1, could I turn a whole row off with one switch? or do you have to have one switch for every socket?
I'm not beeing lazy here... but I really want to understand this... does anyone have a picture of such a connection?
I would be forever i debt!

I'm not entirely sure what you're actually asking here?

I can't see any better way of explaining patchable switches than has already been done.  Undecided
