Hello forum,
I just signed up today, and this is my first post here. I'm an amateur solderer and beginner in DIY electronics/theory. I've recently dipped more into the subject due to my newly found interest in Eurorack modular synthesizers. Due to the ridiculous costs involved I've decided to DIY modules whenever I can. This site was actually recommended from another forum mostly focused on Eurorack called ModWiggler. Anyways, here is the predicament at hand:
I'm trying to understand the difference between an "isolated" resistor array and a "bussed" resistor array. My original need for this knowledge is to substitute some oddly stocked 1K resistor arrays (https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Xicon/267-1.0K-RC?qs=YWwvPgWemcQuXs8NypyjgQ== --- https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/351/Xicon_09142016_SIP-RC-1201759.pdf) for individual resistors on a DIY build called the Vincursal VCA by Zlob Modular (https://zlobmodular.com/product/vnicursal-vca/ --- https://zlobmodular.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/hex_mother6_array21.pdf).
Thank you for your time,
Ricky

I apologize for my lack of theory understanding. When I have a better learning environment I'd like to sit down and research fundamentals. This site seems adequate for that.
Let me know what you guys know about resistor arrays and any recommendations for substitutions would be much appreciated!
