STEP 4: Test, then put it all together 

I recommend testing the module 

before putting it all together. 

It takes awhile to take everything apart so you 

want to correct any mistakes now before finalizing the whole build by putting on knobs and screwing the 
PCB stack together. Plug the top PCB into the control PCB for testing but don’t install the screws and 
spacers yet. You should be able to test everything with it just loosely assembled. 
 
Once you’re confident everything works properly, assemble the PCB stack with the screws and spacers. Then 
install the panel onto the PCB stack and tighten down all the control surface parts! This is what the finished 
product looks like… 
 

 

 
 

 

This screw adjusts the 

maximum decay amount 

the control/CV input adjust 

to. See the USER MANUAL 

for more information!
