Another question, would it be possible also to patch all the IN's into the left side of the patch bay, and the OUTs into the right side of the patchbay? Meaning that instead of separating INs and OUTs to top row and bottom row, I would divide INs and OUTs into left side and right side?

1. You can do whatever you want with your patchbay. If you want your outs to be on the bottom of the ins, just solder your patch to have it that way.

2. Yes, you can do whatever you want.

Thanks, good to know that there is no techincal limitations for this and that I can patch my channels any way I like.

As long as you know how to solder, you can do everything you want on a patchbay, just gotta do the right solders.

op

the s patch has a normal-halfnormal-thru switch

seems like you should just set all patch points to thru since you dont want normalled connections

[devastat]

What does the normalled connections mean in practice?
