Page 3: Introduction
Introduction WHAT IS IT? In collaboration with DivKid, Manic introduces an exploration of dual channel mono, mono to stereo or true stereo modulation and sound shaping within a sleek 8HP module designed for both creative freedom and technical precision. Each Channel offers precision linear VCA functionality with traditional unipolar amplitude control or bipolar behaviour for complex ring modulation effects. -
Page 4: Tools
MANIC Tools Tools ESSENTIAL • Soldering Iron - a solder station with temperature control is best. Some components on this build are connected to the ground plane and require a large amount of heat. A low Wattage soldering iron that plugs directly into the power supply will not be good enough to achieve an effective solder joint. -
Page 5: Construction Guide
MANIC Construction Guide Construction Guide There are already excellent soldering guides in existence, so we will refrain from reinventing the wheel here. If you need some guidance, please check out the Moritz Klein x Erica Synth Build Documents. The soldering appendix is an excellent resource. -

- Page 9 MANIC 3. Solder the 90 Power Header to the Face of the Back PCB 4. Attach the Light Pipe Shield to the Face of the Front PCB using the countersunk M2 x 8mm screw through the PCB (the longer of the M2 screws with the conical/V-shaped cut) into one of the brass standoffs on the rear of the Front PCB.
- Page 10 MANIC 6. Place the 11p Sockets (with the matching pins in place) onto the Rear of the Front PCB. It is important that the sockets (and not the pins) are connected to the Front PCB—this makes the module compatible if a PCB needs to be replaced.
- Page 11 MANIC 9. Separate boards by unscrewing the two M2 x 5mm screws from the Back PCB. Put them somewhere safe, we will screw the boards back together in the final step. 10. Populate the Front PCB with the Sliders. Solder a few pins to hold it in place, ensuring the slider is flush with the PCB.
- Page 12 MANIC 13. Then populate the Front PCB with the Thonkiconn Jack Sockets. 14. Identify the On-On switches and the On-On-On switches. The On-On have two possible positions. The On-On-On have 3 possible positions.
- Page 13 MANIC 15. Tighten one nut onto the barrel of each of the switches. 16. Place the On-On switches in the correct footprint, match with the text on the PCB. NOTE: Ensure the flat key (on the thread/barrel of the switch) at the bottom. The red line on the graphic indicates where the flat part of the barrel should be.
- Page 14 MANIC 18. Place the Front Panel on. Take care not to dislodge the LED Lightpipes. 19. Now we will secure the Front Panel to the parts. 20. First, put on the black hex nuts. Finger-tighten the black hex nuts before tightening them with the 10mm hex driver.
- Page 15 MANIC 21. Then position and finger tighten the switch nuts. Do the final tightening with the 7mm hex driver. 22. Then position and finger tighten the Bananuts onto the jacks. Do the final tightening with the Bananut driver. 23. Screw the remaining two M2x8mm screws through the PCB into the holes on the sliders.
- Page 16 MANIC 24. Push on the Knobs. Considerable force is required to get them on, this is normal. 25. Flip the whole assembly over and NOW SOLDER EVERYTHING. 26. Now everything is soldered, reattach the back PCB and screw the boards together...

Page 18: Installation Manic
When looking at the module from the rear, the red stripe of the power cable should be on the left. Next, find an 8 HP slot in your Eurorack case for Manic. Connect the other end of the power cable to your Eurorack power supply, ensuring the red stripe aligns with the -12V rail. With the power connection established, mount the module into your case using the appropriate screws and power on your Eurorack system. -
Page 19: Testing
MANIC TESTING Testing Some basic testing should be done to ensure good functionality across all of Manic’s circuits. To complete the tests, you will require: • A couple of simple audio input waveforms, such as a Triangle or Sine • A triggered envelope or a controllable DC voltage offset •... - Page 20 PCB and get stuck between the legs/pins of a chip. It’s a good idea to have an old toothbrush or similar and give everything a really good brush to clear all the solder debris. If everything is working correctly, congratulations! Go read the Full Manual to get the most for your new Manic module!
