Accidentally connected sync out with sync out

Post by 326power »

Hi.
Okay, it's probably stupid question, but anyway.
I synced my volca beats with volca keys, but accidentally connected SYNC OUT with SYNC OUT and haven't noticed it for a while.
Could i damage something this way?
It works okay, but i'm a bit paranoic about this kind of stuff.

Set your machines up again correctly and test them to see. When I got my MS20 about 30yrs ago, I had no idea about the patchbay and plugged all sorts of things into the different patch points until I started to understand what the dials actually did. Turns out the S&H was already busted but nothing else was affected by pluging stuff like guitars into the patchpoints whether they were input points or output points, so just turn it on and see if the sync is still working on both.
Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here

Yeah, i've tried it and sync/sequencer works perfectly, i was just wondering if that's possible to damage something this way.
