Installation:
Select the right place to mount the LED, DIN5 MIDI connector and button on your synth (on the back panel near jacks for example). PCB can be mounted under the keyboard on the left side.
Drill holes and try to mount it before soldering wires.
Learn button, DIN5 Connector and LED can be placed here:
Drill dimensions:
DIN5 18mm
LED = 4.8-5mm.(better if less 5mm to strong holding in the hole)
Push button = 12.5-13mm
Board dimensions and distance between screws:
Board dimensions 106x90mm
Holes distance 94x78mm
Holes diameter 3.5mm
Do not allow the board to bend, it can break the board.
All ribbon cables are 100cm (3' 4") long, enough for placing all connections and you can cut extra length.
Panic button is not included in the kit. In case of panic - enough turn off and turn on the synth.

To teach the MIDI channel, push the black button (LEARN) LED will blink two times and stay ON to wait for MIDI messages. When messages are received LED will blink five times and turn OFF and then will ON with every NOTE ON messages on the selected channel. Now the channel saved to memory and not changed before will be rewritten.
One small important thing - use hot glue for fix inserted connectors for protect from disconnection them during vibration when you ride on tour. Also, fix wires strong. Do not leave them holding only on soldering joints.
