[[File:EMS VCS3 Mk II routing matrix.jpg|right|thumb|330px|Routing matrix of an EMS VCS3 synthesizer.]]The '''Pin matrix''' is usually used for [[patch]]ing on non-modular synths. Generally inputs are on one axis and outputs on the other and a pin inserted where the two axes meet establishes a connection.<ref name="how">[https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59836 How to use matrix pin panel?], MuffMod Wiggler forum, May 2012</ref>
 
== Disadvantages ==
The number of patches that can be made is limited<ref name="how" /> and the proximity of signal wires in the matrix can cause [[crosstalk]].<ref>[https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=552186&sid=626e2e4186352735f9972b2ebc2aca1b ARP 2500!], MuffMod Wiggler forum, August 2011</ref>
