00. THANK YOU! Thank you for purchasing the Antumbra FADE module! In this documentation you can find information about the installation and use of the module, also an assembly in- struction if you got your hands on the DIY version.
01. INSTALL ATION When you turn the FADE around, you should see the mod- ule as it is on the left illustration. If this is your first FADE module, connect a 10 pin header to the top row, where you see the MAIN POWER text.
02. BACK LINK CABLE HEADER: Link two or more FADEs with a 16 pin ribbon cable to send it’s output to the next FADE module. You have to connect the LINK cable of the first unit to the power header of the second unit, and so forth.
04. USE One FADE in itself can be used as an: • Attenuator • Offset generator • Manual CV source • Inverter When there’s no input source connected, the set voltage (on the back, 5/10V) is normalized to the input, this way you can use it to generate CV in itself.
IN4 OFFSET 05. LINK FADE gets more interesting if you LINK more units, this way you can mix signals together, or offset them easily. To mix signals, insert a cable in the output of only the last unit you want in the chain, this breaks the normalization and the signal won’t appear further down the chain.
07. BUILD NOTES Before you start building look through the build manual so that you’ll be familiar with the building process and you won’t run into any surprises! :) Good luck!
08. BACK 00. Orient the PCB as seen on the left. 01. Solder the LM321MF. 02. Solder the diodes, check the marking on them, they should align with the white lines as on the graphic. 03. Solder the LM4040. 04. Solder the two LME49720 opamps, their orientation can be determined by the slope on one of it’s sides.

08. BACK 05. Solder the single TL072 IC, it’s orientation is deter- mined as the previous IC-s (but usually it also has a marking on the top). 06. Solder the two 1K resistors. 07. Solder the single 10K resistor. 08. Solder the nine 100K resistors. 09.

08. BACK 10. Solder the single 22pF capacitor. 11. Solder the two 10uF electrolytic capacitors, their ori- entation matter! The black line on them should face to the left. 12. Solder the 2x8 pin headers. On the top header (JP1) snip off the 6th row pins so that you can connect the 10 pin header.
09. FRONT 00. Orient the PCB as it is seen on the left. 01. Solder the fader in place. (there should only be one possible way to insert it) DO NOT SOLDER YET! Add the: • jacks • switch (orientation doesn’t matter) •...
10. MODIFIC ATION If the version number of your PCB is v1.0, you have to make a small modification to make it work with versions above it. You only have to connect pin row 6 to pin row 8 with some wire on both headers as seen on the image to the left.
11. FINISHED You are now finished with building the module, congratu- lations for your new awesome FADE! Now you can go back to section 2. to connect the unit to a power source and set up the jumpers as you like it.

Do you have a question about the FADE and is the answer not in the manual?
