Want an explanation of what’s happening “underneath the hood” of buffered multiples? Here comes the geeky explanation – a continuation of the previous article, where we looked at the three different types of multiples and why you might want to use them. If you haven't read the article, you can check it out here:
Multiples 1: When and why you need passive, buffered, and logic mults
When patching your modular synth, it’s easy to overlook the quiet heroes: multiples. But choosing the right type – passive, buffered, or logic – can make or break tuning, timing, and signal integrity. Here’s how to pick the right mults to keep your system sounding tight and working reliably.

So, what does a buffered multiple not fix?
A surprising number of Eurorack format oscillators ship with poor tracking: a precise change of 1.000V does not result in an exact octave change in pitch. Making exact copies of the control voltage with a buffered multiple will not resolve this problem downstream.
