Frequently Asked Questions
While it can, the normalization means the outputs will be chained; a change on one will affect the others.
It’s primarily designed for CV signals, though it can handle low-level audio, but higher level signals may introduce noticeable distortion.
Normalization is a convenient shortcut but lacks the isolation of a dedicated signal splitter; it's a trade-off between space and performance.
