Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, by routing the input to its corresponding output, you effectively create a direct connection, bypassing any other patching.
Passive routers inherently introduce more signal loss than active ones, particularly with multiple connections; keep routing lengths relatively short for best results.
Yes, it's a simple matter of repositioning a small internal jumper – clearly documented in the Doepfer manual.
