JP3R RECORD FUNCTION ERASE QUANTIZE SHAKMAT MODULAR FOUR BRICKS ROOK v1.1 PAD1 PAD2 PAD3 PAD4 It’s now time to join and solder the two PCBs together. Be very careful during this step. If you solder every pin and the PCBs arn’t well alligned, you will likely not be able to correct it and will encounter all sorts of problems on your way to the end of this build. -

You can screw them almost until the end of the thread. In addition to these, two other nuts added later will assure the stability & alignment of the PCB’s bottom half. • www.shakmat.com 14/19... -
Page 16: Leds Mounting
Assemble the PCBs & front panel with some nuts: one on the Clock input, one on Out 4 and one on the Length potentiometer. Once everything is well secured, it’s time to adjust the two small M3 nuts you’ve screwed on (...) • www.shakmat.com 15/19... - Page 17 Triple check the display alignment through the front panel window. When all of its legs are soldered, it is imposible to correct its placement. Once it’s nicely placed, you can solder the remaining legs of the display and trim them all. • www.shakmat.com 16/19...

Page 18: Nuts Mounting
To ensure that these M3 nuts don’t become loose over time and fall inside your case (potentially PAD1 PAD2 PAD3 PAD4 causing electrical damages), we recommand you to put a little dab of loctite or nail varnish over them. • www.shakmat.com 17/19... -
