A-182-1 Switched Multiple

8 Channel Switched Multiple!

Module has 8 I/O Jacks, each with a switch that can be set to Bus A, Bus B, or Off. All channels set to the same Bus are passively connected, a bit like a stackcable. This allows one flexibility in the channel count of the two mults - they could be 1 in 3 out each, or one can be 1 in 4 out and the other 1 in two out, or it could be used as a single 1 in 7 out mult etc. Also allows quick re routing or muting of several inputs to two destinations (perfect for clocks and triggers.) Per Doepfer:

Module A-182-1 is a simple passive multi-connector similar to the multiples modules A-180-1/A-180-2. In contrast to modules A-180-1/2 each socket is equipped with a 3-position switch that allows to connect the corresponding socket to the internal bus #1 (left position), bus #2 (right position) or to turn the socket off (center position).

Examples:

all switches in left position or all switches in right position: 8-fold multiple
four switches in left position and four switches in right position: two 4-fold multiple
X switches in left position, Y switches in right position and Z switches in center position: two separate multiples with some sockets turned off
