    Love the filter feedback trick. I realised I could do this the other day on my MS-20 and have been using it ever since. Can't wait to use some stackable cables now.

    One more tip: if you need to, say, span from one case to another, and you don’t have a long enough cable, you can take a longish stackable and connect another longish cable to it, and have a cable the combined length of the two. We do this embarrassingly frequently to pass clock signals around.

    Hi loopop. Great videos you do here.. Only just discovered them about 2 weeks ago. I like the rack setup you've got here, has some nice ranges in sound. im hoping to switch over to that route oneday. but im interested in the ones you've used here. quite compact setup, what i'm sorta looking for.

    Another interesting trick you can do with stackables and make noise modules is to combine two outputs into a single input using stackables to get interesting effects (do keep in mind that stackables are not meant for mixing signals, and this can damage modules that are not designed to accept high voltages, however on all of make noise modules the circuitry of the inputs is designed to handle this, as confirmed by Tony Rolando).

    Very very nice! So if I put something into the end of the Stackable that is at the target/input, It never damages that but pushes the output signal to the next thing? I would have thought it not work that way. Thanks for clearing this up, will help a lot!

    I find it easy to tell the difference between 3.5 male cables, but how do you tell the difference between panel mount mono and stereo jacks. Can you use a stereo instead of mono and wire it differently. Just starting out and wondering how that works.

    Question: In Tip #4 you have a stack cable going from Filter OUT to Mixer OUT then a single cable to AUDIO. I'm guessing because they are both OUTS, it is basically passively mixing to the single cable to AUDIO? Saw the OUT to OUT and confused me.

    Hey, no, it’s a little hard to see perhaps - Stackcable is going from filter out to one of the mixer inputs (it has 8) and then also to audio out.

    The voltage is sustained, more or less. Lots of passive multing can lead to a little voltage “droop”, which is why folks result to buffered mults when distributing pitch voltages.
