Banana jack colour schemes

Banana jack colour schemes used by modular synth brands for which some reference has been found. Note that there is no universal accepted standard.

Considerations
In the UK Rapid only sell 4 mm bannana sockets in black, red, white, green, blue and yellow.

There isn't always a clear distinction between audio and control signals. It's more important to distinguish between inputs and outputs. There might be some unusual connections such as inputs with restrictions and ground for external patching.

Patch cords are color coded to indicate their length.

Buchla 200e
On Buchla synthesizers the audio and contol paths and control are kept seperate. The control path uses EF Johnson banana jacks and swings between +/-15V, while the audio path is at 1.228V RMS, (+4dBu professional line level) and uses 0.141" Tini-Jax.

BugBrand
Most modular synth signals can be thought of as either audio or control. The system ground jack provides a ground for connecting to external systems with screened (3.5 mm or 1/4") jacks, so that the signal can be carried with single wire cables (white in Bugbrand interface packs).

Castle Rocktronics
Tries to have a different colours for each different type of input, although just one colour for all outputs.

CGS
CGS mostly uses the Serge scheme, sometimes colorful just for fun.

Ciat-Lonbarde
Cool colors are inputs and hot colors are outputs.

Elby Designs Panther
Elby Designs Panther 3.5mm (EuroRack) and 4 mm banana jacks colour scheme is expanded from the one used by Serge (AC, DC and logic). Differentiating between input, output and special for each signal type.

Loudest Warning
People have also used the Serge STS or Random*Source schemes.

Front panel
Regards audio and control signals as interchangeable.

Serge
The Serge scheme is more about the type signal than its function but with some flexibility e.g. some CVs can go negative. Many black inputs are AC coupled, but most black outputs are not.
