Installation

Step 1: Power your system oﬀ. Place the module in your Eurorack-

compatible rack in any convenient position. Aﬃx the module to your

rails using the included mounting screws and nylon washers. Neglecting

to use these washers may result in unnecessary marking of the unit.

Step 2: Triple check the polarity of the power connector before

connecting the power cord to your power supply. Ensure that the -12v

line marked on the back of the module connects to the same end of the

ﬂat-cable that also connects to the -12v line on your power supply. While

AvonSynth modules use shrouded connectors that make this process

safer and more reliable, some systems do not conform to this polarity

standard, so careful checking is always necessary. Connecting the

module with incorrect polarity can result in irreversible damage done to

the module which cannot be covered by warranty.

Step 3: Power up your system and start patching!

Send your MTS bulk dump as Sysex to the AVS-MIDI-1, and if it is received successfully, the LEDs will shine one by one from bottom to top. Otherwise, they will all blink three times to indicated a failed dump.
