Patchbay accidentally connected 2 outputs together

Elektron Gear Analog Heat
#1

so I am just really tired with a noob question and I need some reassurance.

I accidentally connected my synth to the analog heat outputs instead of the inputs - took me a while to realise something was wrong. Started playing notes etc.

Can anyone clarify if there is any risk to my equipmenust hoping I haven’t damaged anything.

are there any sound engineers able to offer a more technical explanation on what actually happens in this situation?

The output buffers are designed to protect equipment in such a scenario, here is a brief explanation of how they work https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_amplifier
