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:


Important:
For organ keycontacts need to be isolate or remove ground bus. It can do extra cacophony-humming noise on output, but if not do it - MIDI for organ section won't be working.


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  94x80mm
Holes diameter  3.5mm


Do not allow the board to bend, it can break the board. 
All ribbon cables are 50-120cm long, enough for placing all connections and you can cut extra length.
First octave 50cm x2
Second octave 70cm x2
Third octave 90cm x2
Fourth octave 105cm x2
Fifth octave 120cm x2
Power and others connections cable 120cm x1
Panic button is not included in the kit. In case of panic - enough turn off and turn on the synth.


The next picture shows the pinout for 8 wire ribbon cable and pin number of wires:
1 - DIN5 4pin
2 - DIN5 5pin
3 - LEARN
4 - GROUND
5 - LED ANODE
6 - RESET
7 - V+ 
8 - GROUND

V+(wire 7) to +15V at the power supply. GND (wire 8) to GND:

Here is the point of soldering to +15V. Ground is all green wires on this board.

Elka Rhapsody 610 power supply connections:

This picture shown first(1) pin/wire on all connectors:

Board pinout and MIDI note:

All next wire should be connected to each key contact or to the main board

Trigger boards have the same sequence as keys on the keyboard.

Here are variants of points for soldering PIANO and STRINGS wires:

Solder KEY COM to Common bus wire on the key contacts at the right side of the keyboard where is soldered RED wire

Elka Rhapsody 610 notes pinout connections:

Place board on the next location:

All ribbon cables have length for placing PCB here.

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.
