3.4 Internal Patching:
The East Beast utilizes internal patching to create a single oscillator synth voice that does
not require patch cables to play. To modify the internal patch or to create something
completely new, all of the internal routing can be bypassed using patch cables. This allows
total patching freedom without the constrains of a fixed voice architecture.
Plugging a patch cable into an internally patched input jack will override any internal
patching.
Most internal connections are made using switched jacks. A switched jack
allows the internal signal path to be disabled when a patch cable is inserted. A simple
example would be the pitch input of the oscillator. Internally, the pitch output of the midi
section is wired to the switched jack input of the oscillator. When a patch cable is plugged
into the pitch input of the oscillator, that patch cable breaks the connection to the midi
pitch output and replaces it with the signal from the inserted patch cable.

The diagram below shows the pre-patched audio and CV signals. Each signal is patched
with a unique color for clarity.
