• When using mono cables only the "left"
socket will pass a signal and the "right"
socket will be connected to ground.
• When nothing is plugged into the jack,
the "right" socket will be normalized to
ground. This can be useful for patchbay
configurations that rely on a ground

separate signals to be independently

• Each adapter has two sockets which
correspond to the right and left
channels of the corresponding stereo
jack (A, B or C) located on the back
of softPop. This means it is possible to
patch up to six signals in and out of the
patchbay.
• In MOST cases you will only use the
"left" socket (mono cables only use the
left channel).
