  • Page 2 I. Overview/Features This module is a keyboard, only mounted with your other modules in your modular synthesizer rather than in a separate housing. It does this by using a small number of push-buttosn instead of traditional keys. This can be used like a traditional keyboard to play melodies, or it can be used a precision voltage reference for voltage controlled parameters in other modules.

  • Page 5 B. The PCB Below are images of the two sides of the PCB. As you can see all of the parts which mount with the panel are on one side, and everything else is on the other side. The jacks are not mounted to the PCB, this allows the PCB to be used in different formats of synthesizers without requiring different PCBs for different jacks.
  • Page 6 D.Photos/Final Thoughts Here are a couple of photos of a completed unit to give an idea of how it all comes together. The jacks are close enough to the wirepads that I just used the clipped off leads from the resistors, this saves wire and saves time stripping wires.
