11. Early modular synthesizers were large instruments that used patch cords to route the signal flow. 12. It was supplied with additional patch cords incorporating special resistors, capacitors, and diodes for further capabilities. 13. No patch cord should be longer than 5m. 14. These patch cords are typically used with the and the Cross-Connect topology utilizes GigaBIX cross-connect wire. 15. Pearlman eschewed patch cord methodology for interconnecting synthesizer modules, designing instead a system of sliding matrix switches. 16. For MMF links the WDM output needs to be coupled through a SMF offset-launch mode-conditioning patch cord . 17. Users create sounds by manipulating patch cords to direct the signal through the modules above the keyboard. 18. Modular synthesizers used cables ( " patch cords " ) to connect the different sound modules together. 19. These became known as " patch cords ", and that term was also used for Moog modular systems. 20. For link distances greater than 300 m, the use of a special launch conditioning patch cord may be required.
