BUILD

This is a very simple build, as all of the power stuff is already on the board. You just need to add headers, jacks, and switches and you're good to go! We suggest building in that order, from shortest to tallest component. Everything goes on the front side of the board, with the exception of the power header.

1) Headers

-Generally speaking, each header matches a board location exactly, with the exception of the 3 2x3 headers that go on the lower left, to connect with the jacks. The image on the left shows which headers go where.

2) Jacks
There are six Thonk-style jacks that fit on the lower left of the board.

3) Pots
As long as you use the standard 9mm alpha footprint, you can use whatever pots best suit your designs. I've found a couple with extra-wide support legs that might need to be clipped to work here. Kits include 3x B100K pots since they're used most commonly.

4) Switches
The DPDT switch goes towards the top of the module and controls the power.
At the bottom center of the board you can find 4 spots for DPST switches. You can use pretty much any DPST here. on-off-on are included with the kit

5) Power header
This is the one spot where polarity matters! This goes on the other side of the board as pictured to the right. Make sure the notch in the board aligns with the image to get the polarity right!

6) Breadboards

Our good friend Ray from Crey Emporium had a really good suggestion - add electrical tape over the backside of those power headers! This will prevent any accidental short-circuiting of your power bus, as unlikely as that is. Use enough tape to extend into the breadboard area so that the breadboards can help to hold the ends down.

Lastly, remove the adhesive backing from the breadboards and attach them to the module. Be sure to position these straight and right-side-up, or you'll feel like a dingus about it later

USE

The large central switch turns power on and off. LEDs above indicate status of 12 rails
Gate and CV rail access (while rarely used) can be found below that switch
On the lower corners of each breadboard you'll find +/-12v, +/-5v and ground
Pot headers are located above pots. They're marked "LCR" for "left", "center", and "right" pin of each.
Similarly, switch headers are located to the left and right of the switches and are marked "TCB" for "top", "center" and "bottom" pins.
Jack headers are to the right of the jacks, marked with the tip, switch, and sleeve of each
